Verdict

DARK DEVIL couldn't quite get to Arcanada at Chester but stayed on strongly after missing the break and had subsequent winner Powderhorn over three lengths behind in third. It will take a good performance to lower his colours here though Beast Mode caught the eye despite running green at Newmarket last month and has travelled a long way for this. The same remark also applies to the Godolphin newcomer Rock Warbler, an expensive purchase out of a winning miler, and the well-connected Tyrannical, who may be a bit more forward than most of his stable's newcomers. Silver Streak didn't handle the very fast going at Beverley after a bright start on soft ground there.
