In depth
Verdict
Modest fare but ARCHDEACON must have a decent chance on his latest second in a similar race at Bath. Flying Standard met interference at Lingfield earlier this month and rates a danger while Hard Toffee is capable of figuring is ready for his first run since March. Johni Boxit was just caught at Bath last month and is likely to be prominent again so looks the pick of the remainder.
