A wide-open sprint handicap but EQUIANO SPRINGS bounced back to form at Newmarket and still appeals as being well treated off this 3lb higher mark. Wentworth Falls is also in good form at present while Pagan. Silver Samurai and City Walk comprise a strong Newmarket challenge. Course and distance winner Captain Vallo is well treated off the bottom rung but does step up two grades so probably needs to improve again .
