Devizes missed out on a four-timer when runner-up at Kempton and is raised a further 2lb. Arctic Sea won over track and trip in February but RENARDEAU wasn’t far behind in third and re-opposes on more favourable terms. Dropping back down in class for this, Ali Stronge’s charge can come out best. Potenza placed at Doncaster when last on the Flat and is fit from hurdling while Where's Tom has a shout on a second at Kempton back in January. Ministerial is upped in trip for his handicap bow and may improve.
