4/1
4lb lower than his sole turf win two years ago. Has twice gone close from similar marks lately at Lingfield (5f, AW). Should be thereabouts.

4/1
Dual winner here over 5f and is 2lb lower today than the second of those, last year. Has since won three times at Southwell. Better effort on turf at Ayr last time and from 3lb lower he has claims.

7/2
Course specialist who won three times here in 2017, all from higher marks than today, and including on firm. Has not been quite as good this year, but back here and from this mark he can't be ruled out.

16/1
2-41 career profile, though 0-16 on turf and no win on AW since early 2016. Not disgraced on return from a break at Chepstow recently, but more needed from same mark to break turf duck.

Another who loves it here, having won four times, three of them on firm ground. Back to form last time with a win at Chepstow, for which she is penalised today and not sure she has that much improvement in her.

9/1
Five-time course winner, although the last of those was in 2013. Goes on any ground and went close again here twice in May from similar marks. Claimer now up and if he can shake off a below par run last time he has a squeak.

4/1
Sole turf win was here in 2014 (C&D, firm), Has won just twice since on AW. Would have a chance based on his C&D run from June last year, but recent efforts not as good. Others preferred.

8/1
C&D winner both last year and in 2016 when 1lb higher each time. Well short of that level of form in all six runs at this venue already this season and not easy to fancy.

Forecasts

Arcanista (9/4), Jaganory (7/2), Archimedes (4/1), Spellmaker (4/1), Entertaining Ben (4/1), Burauq (8/1), Dreams Of Glory (9/1), Molly Jones (16/1), Kyllukey (16/1)

Verdict

Plenty of course specialists lining up here and we'll take ARCHIMEDES to provide the answer. On a handy mark, David Griffiths' gelding shaped last time as though his next win would not be long in coming. Arcanista is an obvious danger, while Dreams Of Glory, Jaganory, Kyllukey and Entertaining Ben can all have cases made for them.
