Formscan By Tom Weekes - BEAT THE DEVIL showed promise in a recent course-and-distance handicap and is open to more progression being a three-year-old. His initial form was ordinary and having been tried over hurdles in early November, made the running when racing at speed on that jumps debut, before pulling up. He was held up for his recent all-weather debut and having finished well then, now looks to have found his niche. Una Matata was behind the selection in that recent race and while not ahead of the handicapper, can be depended upon to again run well. First-time visored Thompson Gunner is a 14-race maiden but has been running well.
