The veteran EQUIANO SPRINGS loves Newmarket having won five times here and though not in the best of form he's been given a chance by the assessor. Abate has won twice here and is on the same mark as his latest success with his rider's 7lb claim a huge bonus. The three-year-old Just A Spark is up just 3lb for landing a course and distance handicap and has beaten older horses previously while Mokaatil is generally thereabouts at this sort of level and in higher grade. Almaty Star was very disappointing when odds-on at Doncaster so has questions to answer.
