Dark Devil could only manage third here last time under today’s apprentice. But stablemate CARNAGEO was winning off a much higher mark at York last season and he makes more appeal on the back of a couple of placed efforts. Richard Fahey’s charge beat Save The Bees at York and the latter ran well at Doncaster last month while Bakht A Rawan went close at Nottingham before a poor effort here. Al Destoor has slid down the weights and Instant Attraction steps up in trip.
