Archimedes was badly hampered leaving the stalls at Doncaster last week and given his all guns blazing run style that was very swiftly a case of 'game over'. Broadly speaking he remains in fine fettle and feasibly could boss his six rivals in this less competitive contest. However, a number of the others also merit serious consideration despite not necessarily being the easiest to win with. Excessable is handily-weighted and could potentially reverse recent Musselburgh form with Desert Ace, while the tentative selection SHEEPSCAR LAD ought to be there or thereabouts on the basis of his recent C&D placed form.
