Devasboy has been very keen in his two races to date and might get picked off in the closing stages again by IRISH MILLIONS. From a yard in terrific form, the Profitable colt, who is a half-brother to three winners, caught the eye at Yarmouth a month ago after a tardy start. Mr Stanley is a full brother to a 5f & 6f winner while Copperknob was highly tried on debut at Goodwood.
