Verdict
The four-year-olds Arch My Boy and Silver River won their respective latest starts with the former scoring over 1m6f at Nottingham and the Godolphin charge winning over track and trip. But the younger horses are fancied to take advantage of the weight concession though Lingfield winner Mugatoo hasn’t raced since May and QUICKSAND is preferred. She came good over course and distance in September and a couple of winners have come out of the race. Confederate has plenty to find with Silver River and the remainder are harder to fancy.
