Tom Dascombe saddles the top two in this but Richard Kingscote prefers DEVIOUS ANGEL to Roman Dragon. His mount gave weight and a beating to stablemate Costa Adeje over course and distance last time and has the plum draw. Haydock second Emporium Flame is preferred to the penalised Musselburgh winner Mytilda and Bay Breeze of the others.
