Dalgig took advantage of a lower mark on the all-weather to win a claimer over 1m4f here last time but will find this tougher. A few of these have given notice that a win is not far away with Ze King, Past Forgetting, Gannicus and Kubeba all placed on their latest outings and worthy of consideration. But ARCHIE'S ADVICE may have enough further improvement to shrug off a 6lb rise after a cosy win over track and trip so he gets the vote.
