Archippos won on soft going at Doncaster at the start of the season and is 2lb lower. C'Est No Mour attracted market support over 2m at Ascot last time but didn’t quite last home. He’s travelled up from Hampshire for this and is back on a winning mark so, with conditions to suit, has to go on the short-list. NIBRAS GALAXY has been racing over further but is effective at this trip. The ground and likely strong pace should bring his stamina into play so he gets a tentative vote, though Al Destoor has been knocking on the door and Azari could also figure if handling the going. Vision Clear won over the distance at Beverley in August but has never raced on ground this soft.
