Verdict
Rouge Devils was soon beaten when third at Hereford last week while Lucky Diva was probably flattered by her run behind Lostock Hall at Exeter as the odds-on favourite in that race was an early casualty - she also has an extra half-mile to cover. MURIFIELD (NAP) won easily between the flags over 2m4f in May. Now with Harry Fry, he'll know his job here and looks the one to beat. It's hard to fancy Rainbow Blues or Trakeur on what they've shown so far.
