Verdict
On The Move returned a losing favourite for the second time when well beaten in an all-weather bumper in January but Steel Summit and Business Mover posted improved efforts last time and make more appeal than Giant Hercules. JUST ARCHIE was in contention for most of the 2m at Wincanton on his racecourse debut and, with that run under his belt, Lady Herries' charge is fancied to open his account in this. Bugsy's Girl is from the same family of Champion Hurdle winner Hors De Loi 111 and top chaser Cyborgo and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
