ARCH WALKER has travelled a long way for this and looked as though he was turn was near when runner-up to Aubrietia at Nottingham. He goes well on this surface and can gain a deserved success. Griffin Point beat subsequent winner Kyllachy Storm, who runs earlier on the card, over C&D last time and is another for the short-list but Flaxen Lake has more to do than when successful at Wolverhampton. This looks a bit sharp for Brandywell Boy nowadays but Botanist should be thereabouts and Autocracy and Ladydolly could figure if back to their best.
