Devonian and Special Code share the same handicap rating though neither has threatened in maiden company so far and both make their Southwell debuts. INVINCIBLE WISH is more exposed but is proven at the track with an easy win over 7f here in November. Brian Ellison's charge looks the safest bet in this and gets the vote. It's difficult to make a case for either of the remaining pair with Moon Arc well beaten here last week and Romanticised finishing last at Wolverhampton on his debut.
