DEVILMENT (NAP) is one of only two booked rides for McCoy here today and should get the champion off to a winning start. He couldn't quite catch the more experienced Pain Au Chocolat at Plumpton on his debut earlier this month but will have learned plenty from that. New Tarabela warmed to his task at Sandown and is another open to improvement but Scoppio Del Carro looked held when unseating his rider at the last at Catterick and Dougie Costello rides Grand Meister instead. The latter was third at Catterick on his debut earlier, though might improve for a step up in trip. Course and distance third In Vino Veritas may be the pick of the remainder.
