Cayirli won over track and trip in February but was well beaten back here last time. Sassie also won here before placing at Pontefract but MASTER ARCHER is preferred after finishing a close-up fourth over today’s trip at Goodwood last time. Maquisard was behind and James Fanshawe’s grey is fancied to make a bold bid. Seinesational continued his good progress with a victory over 1m6f at Sandown and is not out of this but Superb Story was still beaten a long way when runner-up over course and distance last month and Mandalayan attempts this longer trip for the first time on the back of placed efforts over 1m4f.
