Archie Stevens carries 6lb extra having won over track and trip a week ago with Racing Angel and Novabridge well beaten. Chillililli never threatened when third here last month but still finished ahead of Coiste Bodhar while the likes of Ballesteros and Pearl Acclaim are not badly treated but have yet to win on the all-weather. EXCELLENT WORLD has yet to win anywhere but separated higher rated horses than these when beaten a neck in maiden company here in between distinctly modest efforts elsewhere. She may yet come good on this surface and is preferred to the unpredictable Red Flute, who also has bits of form on the Fibresand.
