FormscanBy John O'Riordan - With a strong pace virtually guaranteed, BEAT THE DEVIL can register a second course and distance success. A strong traveller, who needs to be held up and delivered late, the Patrick Magee-trained gelding was an impressive winner here earlier this month. Having had his excuses next time, the four-year-old was back to something like his best when runner-up on his most recent visit here. Desert Of The Sea shaped well enough last time to suggest that he is capable of scoring on this company. He has to be of interest sporting first-time cheekpieces. Georg Zhukov, a winner over course and distance on his stable debut, is another with leading claims in a competitive heat.
