Archie's Advice finished with a rare rattle to score over a longer trip here last time. But today's shorter distance is not certain to suit either him or World Record, who won over the stiff mile at Beverley last month. WARFARE has been in better form on the all-weather of late having tumbled 13lb down the weights this year. It could be his turn again today and he gets the nod ahead of other frustrating types such as Running Reef and Royal Holiday.
