Devout has been running well on Polytrack and went close to losing her maiden tag at Lingfield last time. Hazard Warning has experience of the track and scored at Wolverhampton on his latest start. He's up 6lb for that but should still have a say in the finish though JORDANSTOWN is just preferred. The Fibresand debutant made a decent effort on his comeback at Lingfield last month and improvement is expected here given Kevin Ryan's excellent strike rate at the track. The remaining pair have shown nothing so far and are overlooked.
