This looks something of a lottery with a speculative vote going to ARCHAEOLOGY. He returns to a mile for the first time since winning at Doncaster back in May and went close at Ascot earlier this month when finishing in front of Shawaaheq and Invasion Day. Jalaad may also do better back over today’s trip while first-time headgear may bring improvement from Sezim. Robero went close at Wolverhampton last time while Home Before Dusk was beaten only a nose over track and trip recently and Defence Treaty was placed off today’s mark at Redcar.
