Brighton winner Archimento has been in good form in lower grade contests while Psychotic won at Leicester recently but has been raised 9lb. MOVING FORWARD (NAP) is also upped in class but was having only his second start in a handicap when successful over track and trip and has enough scope to defy a 5lb rise. El Borracho has a bit to find with the selection on latest running but Refrain looks a bigger threat on a recent win at Pontefract and Reckless Wave could go well. Havana Beat has been winning over hurdles and is looking to transfer that form back on to the Flat.
