Verdict

This is less competitive than the first division and it would be no surprise if the four-year-old ARCHERY PEAK proved too good for his younger rivals. Luca Cumani has had to be patient with the US-bred gelding as he has first run in more than two years. But fitness is unlikely to be an issue and he showed promise in much better races than this in the autumn of 2014. Poet's Song is the only one of these to have achieved a handicap mark but is only rated 75 and looks one-paced. Electrify has only run on the all-weather so far and has been well beaten in both starts.
