Verdict

Master Archer is an intriguing newcomer given his Flat form and a high cruising speed which will serve him well around here. His rider will have his hands full as he clearly has the gears but lacks a winning attitude. The Bottom Bar comes from a stable with an excellent record here. His bumper form is nothing special but he will have gained valuable experience for one who has looked so backward and the jumping game will be more his forte. AL SHAHIR could easily be dismissed as unreliable when looking at his form figures. However, he travelled well for a long way before finding the useful Kalshnikov too good at Wetherby and then finished clear of the third when runner-up last time. This stiff track may offset his lack of a telling finish and this looks a realistic opportunity for him. Awake At Midnight improved for the switch to hurdling and there is probably more to come as that was his first run for 11 months.
