Verdict

Cases can be made for plenty, but ARCHERS BAY resumed his progress when going down to an exciting prospect in Godolphin ownership over C&D a fortnight ago. Just 1 lb higher now returned to handicap company, Marco Botti's colt is fancied to notch his fourth career success at the expense of Study of Words, who also bumped into one at Ascot when last seen in July and has since been gelded. Devil's Peak and Liberate can fight out third.
