Nick Vedder missed out on a hat-trick when upped to 7f here a couple of days ago but had earlier beaten Archimedes on both occasions when landing a double over track and trip. DIRCHILL also found the former a length too good at the start of the month but is weighted to reverse running in this having subsequently gone even closer back here last time and can come out best on this occasion. Katelli was narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton and makes more appeal than selling handicap winner Owhatanight while May The Sixth is preferred to stablemate Shackabooah.
