Devil's Angel was back on a winning mark at Sandown and just got his head in front with Lordsbridge Boy well behind. He also beat the returning Churchill Bay over track and trip just over a year ago. Bossipop placed at York last week but does most of his winning with cut in the ground and a chance is taken on CONCIERGE. The latter was winning off a 7lb higher mark last season and it could be his turn again today having placed here on his penultimate start.
