MUSIKEL was beaten only a length in a classified event at Nottingham last time and may prove good enough if handling this softer going. Cartavio has been raised 4lb for winning over a longer trip at Salisbury while Archi's Affaire carries 6lb extra having scored over today’s distance at Hamilton last week. Golconda Prince drops down in class and could figure but Coral Princess is facing a tougher task after a modest effort at Ayr.
