ARCHETYPE needed every yard of the mile trip at Chelmsford to get his head in front at the line. This extra distance should suit on that evidence as Simon Crisford’s colt goes handicapping for the first time. Zamalight is another handicap newcomer to consider after a third at Lingfield while Mullarkey also has claims now back on a faster surface having won at Nottingham earlier. Lunar Jet was runner-up at the latter track while Dream Machine opened his account at Haydock, though is upped in class.
