Verdict

PROFIT SURGE has been in good form with consecutive runner-up efforts and first-time cheekpieces could make a difference. Beat The Devil won emphatically at this C&D by 4 lengths 4 weeks ago and ran up to his best when runner-up over 11f here a week ago. Back down to the trip of his win, he looks sure to run well again, while Heart of Darkness may bounce back in a strongly-run race.

  1. PROFIT SURGE (IRE)
  2. BEAT THE DEVIL (IRE)
  3. HEART OF DARKNESS
