In depth

Verdict

Devon Flame, claimed for 10,000 pounds after his recent win at Windsor, is fancied to follow that win up for new connections, with Conjuror, Kallistas Pride and Blessed Place likely to provide the sternest opposition. It was an above average claimer which Devon Flame won on his last start, yet he races off the same mark here on his return to handicap company and his first start from his new yard. These conditions should be ideal for Devon Flame, and with a decent amateur booked, he looks the one to beat. Blessed Place had been in good form until disappointing at Bath last time, when he didn't get the lead he needs, while Kallistas Pride has won twice recently in selling and claiming company and seems sure to run a good race. Conjuror hails from a yard which has a good record in this type of contest and he was unlucky in running when fifth in a better race than this at Windsor last time. He looks a serious threat, but Devon Flame is just the safer option and gets the nod.
