Forecasts
Espion (6/5), Gustavian (2/1), Archie Brown (7/2), Eglantier (10/1)
A case can be made for all four runners in a fascinating little race. ESPION is the only maiden among the quartet but shaped like a horse who was crying out for this trip when third to Fiddlerontheroof at Sandown in December. He may prove the value bet. Archie Brown saw it out well when winning over this trip at Market Rasen last time, while Exeter scorer Gustavian handled heavy ground when scoring there over 2m1f and will probably stay the extra three furlongs here. If the wind operation has done the trick then Eglantier may also make his presence felt.
