Verdict
Devizes landed a double in classified company with last week’s success over 1m4f at Kempton but will find life tougher back in a handicap. Arabescato won over 1m2f here earlier and finished in front of Three Dragons when third at the track behind Double Legend. But the latter was subsequently beaten three lengths by MURHIB over course and distance and Lydia Richards’ charge can defy a penalty on that form. Party Planner finished closer here on her latest start and may prove best of the rest debuting for new connections.
