Verdict

ARCH WALKER scored over track and trip earlier this month but could only manage fourth in soft ground on his latest start. John Weymes' charge has beaten most of today's opposition of late including Spic 'n Span, Volcanic Dust, Madame Kintyre and Brandywell Boy but may have more trouble confirming running at this track with Chester'slittlegem. Runner-up to the selection here last time, she's weighted to finish closer today while Griffin Point has the past form to figure if rediscovering her best.
