      Verdict

      Archie Watson is a shrewd placer of his juveniles and this looks a strong opportunity for SPACE ACE (NAP), blinkered for the first time, to double his winning tally for the season. He is no stable star but has shown the best form of this field by some way and should prove capable of conceding 7lb to his rivals. Gert Lush didn't run too badly on second start when sixth of 10 in a better race at Newbury but will need to improve considerably to overturn the top weight. Annie Quickstep should progress from her seventh of 10 Windsor debut for Jonathan Portman and is next best.
