Archie Rice returned to winning ways at Lingfield last week but none of his seven wins on the all-weather have been at this track. Travelling was only a length in front of Red Dragon when runner-up over 1m2f here last time and neither can be easily dismissed, but BOBS HER UNCLE is just preferred. The latter went close to following up her earlier victory at this track when runner-up on her latest start and James Bethell's mare gets the nod to go one better. Artistical won a claimer here in November but was tailed off on his latest outing.
