Irish Flame and Treasury Devil have similar profiles. Both are without a win this year and were returning from lay-offs when well beaten on their latest starts. They could both figure if back to their best here, but a chance is taken on LATE TELEGRAPH. A winner on his debut at Goodwood, he ran even better when fourth in a conditions race at Leicester last month and further progress is expected form Sir Henry Cecil's colt today. Spensley couldn't cope with the step up to Listed company after winning over C&D in September and the remainder looks up against it on today's terms.
