Verdict
A very tight little heat that is set to be contested by some promising types. However, the Ascot form of Black Belt Shopper appears to be good enough to warrant a recommendation and, although he may find Devious Boy a tough customer to deal with, he just receives the nod. Wilful will have to improve on his debut run to figure.
