FormscanBy Gary Carson - THEDEVILSCOACHMAN has to give weight to his rivals but looks the one to beat. Noel Meade's charge was promoted after finishing second at Naas in another Grade 3 contest having been short of room at the last. He would have been an unlucky loser that day and sets a good standard now. At the weights Grandero Bello is a big danger and he comes here in winning form as well. The Great Pretender gelding was a cosy winner at Gowran last time having given Bronn a scare at Fairyhouse previously. Going up in trip now may suit the former point-to-pointer. Life In The Park was beaten at a short price when last seen in Cheltenham in October. Good ground was put forward as a reason for his poor showing then but he is also unproven on going this testing.
