HERBALIST finished a creditable third to higher rated horses than this in a seller over track and trip last time. Still lightly-raced, it could be his turn today. Daniel Thomas is facing a tougher task having picked up a Class 7 contest at Wolverhampton last week so Archelao makes more appeal after suffering a narrow-margin defeat over course and distance on his latest start. Sutton Sid and Cabal can also be given a chance on previous placed efforts over today's distance.
