      Verdict

      Archive was only headed inside the final furlong when second over course and distance last time. Big Sigh has only run once this season and that was in June and some rain wouldn’t have come amiss. POETIC STEPS is hard to catch right but now on a lower mark than when winning at the track in May. He was second over this trip at Wetherby the following month and his turn may have come around again, though soft going last time would not have suited Something Brewing and Falcon's Fire runs his best races here.
