More than half of these have won over the course and distance including ARCHIMEDES, a winner here in July who ran a cracking race in a much better handicap on a return visit last month. Secret Potion was very unlucky when a close third behind today's rival David's Beauty at Chepstow as his saddle slipped and he should have no problems taking revenge. Flowing Clarets hasn't won for almost a year but has been given a chance by the assessor while Yogiyogiyogi has won around here and is just 2lb higher. Everkyllachy was well beaten in that latter event when slowly away but ran much better here last time and could get into the frame at a fair price.
