Lucky Mark and Angelo Poliziano are making hard work of getting their heads in front with both recording a series of placed efforts recently. Speedyfix is going the same way and has risen 4lb despite not winning while Nine Before Ten went close over C&D before taking on much higher rated rivals here on Monday. Here Now And Why is up 5lb for his win over 6f here last time so a speculative vote goes to ARCH WALKER, placed on the Turf recently and open to improvement on only his second start on the all-weather.
