Indigo came good over course and distance four weeks ago and is only 3lb higher. Brave Archibald came with a strong late run to win over this trip at Lingfield and also goes on the short-list while Key On Kodiac and Dalalah are likely improvers now going handicapping. CRIMINALISTIC's run at Wolverhampton last time was too bad to be true. He'd been placed in his first two starts on Polytrack and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back here.
