Verdict
DEVILS ROC (NAP) put a below-par effort behind her when returning a wide-margin winner of an apprentices’ race at Bath last week. She not only escapes a penalty but Tyler Saunders can utilise his 7lb allowance today and Jonathan Portman’s filly can go in again. Grisons has scope for further improvement having won a maiden at Bath and can figure while Mrs Worthington finished in front of Molly's Game when placed at Lingfield last time. But Elzaam's Dream went close in a higher grade sprint at Ffos Las recently and looks a bigger threat having also finished ahead of Soldier's Son on that occasion.
