It may only have been a seller that PEREZ won at Perth last week but he won with so much in hand that day that he is hard to oppose here despite a 14lb rise in the weights for that win. Cornish Castle ran better at Sedgefield last time but needs to improve to trouble the selection and of more interest may be Devils And Dust, who has been running consistently well in recent starts but has been punished by the handicapper for those efforts. Richo faces no easy task under top weight, while Royal Flynn ran well enough when placed here last time and should be thereabouts again.
