The veteran Regal Warrior was winning for only the second time when successful here in February. But both wins came over 1m4f and Patrolman is preferred on his course and victory in April. The latter is 6lb higher today but THE BLACK DEVIL can race off the same mark as when second here earlier in the year. Gerard Keane's charge gets the vote on that basis. Flowing Air was still beaten six lengths when runner-up at Sligo while Hazledoc hasn't raced since making the frame over a mile here in December.
