Verdict

DEVIL'S ADVOCATE ran to a very high level for an AW maiden winner at Chelmsford in October and representing a stable with a superb record in this race, he's the most persuasive option. Tiberius Thunder ran with enormous credit in the Ballysax Stakes on just his second start and is expected to come on for that, with Trinity College also a key player on form upped in trip.
