        Verdict

        DEVILMENT (NAP) was not beaten far when fifth in a higher grade handicap at Haydock last time. He should be bang there at the finish up against these exposed older horses. Hunting Ground showed signs of a return to form at Musselburgh last time but is rated a massive 27lb higher on the all-weather while Flying Power is up in class off a 9lb higher mark after winning at Haydock. Cousin Khee has been raised 7lb for winning at Southwell and Magic Art looks a bigger threat off her current mark on the back of a second at Newcastle.
