Last Page has been raised 7lb for winning at Leicester but Gabrial The Devil can race off the same mark as when runner-up at Doncaster last week when finishing in front of both Roundhay Park and Buccaneers Vault. EQUIANO SPRINGS took advantage of a lower mark on Turf when successful at Doncaster last time. He’s now on the same mark as when winning at Newcastle back in February and Tom Tate’s charge can go close again. Nick Vedder has a shout with the selection on all-weather form while Madrinho placed in a lower grade contest over track and trip on his latest start though that was on heavy going.
