Has come down a long way in the weights and better signs at the second time of asking for new trainer Neil Mulholland when fourth of 8 at Goodwood (9f) last time, making quite a promising move before hanging into the camber. One to note in the betting.

Won twice on the all-weather last September, including over 7f here off a similar mark. Well held on all 7 starts this year and could only consider if the betting hints that a revival is anticipated.

Won over C&D last spring. Largely ran with credit later in 2025 but his 2 turf runs this year have been very disappointing. Needs a return to polytrack to help spark a revival.

Devious Devan (Ire)

Finally got off the mark when defeating a next-time-out winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in May, overcoming a pace bias in the process. 3 lb rise looked fair and possibly unsuited by soft ground at Ffos Las since. Given another chance now back on all-weather.

Timeform Verdict

DEVIOUS DEVAN may have simply failed to handle soft ground at Ffos Las last time. His Wolverhampton win prior to that looks solid form and he can come good now back on the all-weather. Finn Ironside is back on a good mark and is next on the list ahead of Union Island.
