DEVON SKIES has been a revelation for the Phil Kirby yard this winter and she can defy the handicapper again to make it 5 wins from 6 her last starts. Queenofthejukebox starts life in handicaps from a very workable mark based on her bumper form and there was more to like about her Kempton run last time, so is also shortlisted alongside fellow handicap debutante Laysoft.
