PreviewsBattleground is likely to be very popular in the market following his win in the Chesham but that does not appear to be the strongest of form. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on DEVIOUS COMPANY, who only found one too good in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket. That followed two novice/maiden victories and Tom Dascombe's colt remains open to improvement. Painless Potter's Coventry form gives him an each-way chance with the step up to 7f likely to suit, while Youth Spirit also merits respect.
