Red Devil Star has been a little disappointing in his last two starts but was knocking on the door off higher marks and in better races before Christmas so looks a threat to ROXYFET. Micky Hammond has improved his charge again this season and the third has franked the form of his latest second to a stablemate at Wetherby. Ballycamp needs more to open his account and Chateau Chinon has yet to show much in the way of ability in any sphere.
