Archie Rice was beaten in a seller at Exeter last time but this is little better. Lyssio has yet to show much improvement for a tumble down the weights but Dropzone was third at Newton Abbot last month and veteran Warsaw Pact only found one too good over course and distance three weeks ago, though was still beaten 13 lengths. BULLETPROOF may have been last of the six runners at Wincanton last month but they all finished in a heap. He'd finished ahead of Lyssio at Towcester earlier and the handicapper has given him a chance today.
