MADRASA was repeatedly denied a run when well backed at Doncaster three weeks ago. He's been raised a pound but is fractionally better off with Amir Pasha than when just behind Micky Hammond's charge in a blanket finish over course and distance earlier and deserves a change of luck. Sally Friday has gone up 8lb for last month's victory over track and trip but could improve again now she's got her head in front and Maska Pony will probably be staying on when others have cried enough, though would appreciate an easier surface.
