Lots of course form on offer in an open sprint. Piazon beat Archimedes in the process of landing a double here in December but is now 10lb higher having gone close subsequently. He was ahead of Englishwoman when runner-up last time and the latter won over 6f here earlier this month. Crosse Fire is back on a winning mark and Mysterious Look won here last year but was behind BERLIOS (NAP) over course and distance last month when David Barron’s charge finished a close-up third. That was the latter’s first start since winning a maiden at the track in March and he gets the vote with further progress expected.
