Verdict
Ocean Legend won a plating race here last month and Prime Exhibit won a similar contest over 7f at the track when beating subsequent Southwell winner Al Muheer. There is little between the latter pair in this while though maiden winner Manipulation never figured on his return from a lengthy absence, he is dropped in class for this. But the latter has to give plenty of weight to the three-year-old DEVONIAN today and Rod Millman's charge may well be good enough back on this surface after placing at Southwell recently.
