Verdict
Archimedes unseated leaving the stalls when bidding for a hat-trick of course and distance wins and is upped a grade today. He’d beaten Cuppacoco a neck before that while ANOTHER ANGEL was also successful over track and trip a fortnight ago with Lord Of The Glen well beaten. Kieran Schofield’s allowance negates a 3lb rise in the weights and the top weight is taken to go in again. Nigg Bay has just the one win in 15 outings in Ireland though slips further down the weights while Katheefa won over 6f here early last year off a higher mark.
