Nick Vedder finally took advantage of a tumble down the weights when scoring over track and trip last week with Archimedes behind. Jazz Legend has placed here the last twice while Magnificia won over 7f at the track last month. Sir Rodneyredblood has gone close on the Polytrack recently but another chance goes to RAYYAN. He came up short in first-time headgear when sent off favourite at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago but the cheekpieces have been removed for this and his best effort so far came on this surface.
