CANFORD BAY put a couple of below-par efforts behind him when placed at Ripon. He’s won three times on Turf this year and should be thereabouts again only 1lb higher than his most recent success. Foxy Forever finished in front of Mutawaffer when scoring at Bath in June and Archimedes was ahead of Excessable when runner-up at Beverley earlier. Royal Brave and Bowson Fred slip further down the weights while Sonja Henie has been competing in tougher sprints than this since scoring at Epsom in August.
