Verdict

A horse with nine seconds against one win in his record can never be defined as a solid betting medium, but MASTER ARCHER is in fine form at present, and looks the one they have to aim at. Percy's Word disappointed last time, but has a touch of class and will find this easier, so is suggested as the best alternative, although St Mary's comes here after a good second at Chester, and won't mind any further rain.
  1. Master Archer
  2. Percy's Word
  3. St Mary's
