Ragged Robin defied the handicapper once again to land a four-timer on his latest start over 1m4f here. He's been raised a further 11lb and steps up in class. DEVILMENT is preferred as he was beaten only a head in similar company at Wolverhampton recently and the Godolphin charge scored over track and trip back in May. Carnevale was a ready winner over 1m2f at Newmarket but has a 10lb hike to contend with and Lady Tyne is proving hard to predict.
