Formscan By Gary Carson - BEAT THE DEVIL has run well on his last couple of visits and may be able to make the breakthrough now. He stayed on well when third to in-form rival Lahore Da King here before Christmas and going back up to a mile now may suit better. Long-time maiden Man Is King could, in contrast, benefit from dropping back in trip after a solid run to finish third over the extended ten here last month. Boyne Valley ran well when runner-up here last month and she is another to consider, off the same mark.
