Arch Walker has been threatening a return to winning ways of late and should go well again and the same can be said of Griffin Point. Spic 'N Span is another who should be thereabouts after his latest second at Ffos Las and Autocracy is holding his form well having beaten Even Bolder on the Polytrack in June. However, all of the above could end up fighting for place money only if CRIMSON QUEEN turns up in the same mood as last week when she blazed a trail over 6f at this track to win by seven lengths. Roy Brotherton's mare looks to have an excellent chance of going in again here.
