Archelao has won twice in 21 starts, both times on Polytrack, but has only had three runs on Turf. Market Puzzle has been going well in similar grade and should get into the action but Action Front has been looking one-paced and doesn't win often. MINORITY INTEREST scored at Windsor in good style and though subsequently beaten in an amateurs' event at Newbury he's expected to bounce back here and gets the vote. Lightning Spirit appears to be better over a mile on fast ground.
