Busy Street and Stamford Raffles have both won over 2m on the all-weather this year and Master Archer scored twice over the same trip last term. Artarmon drops in class today having landed a double over today’s distance last season while Hareeq, a winner at Bath last month, steps up in trip. Lissitzky has something to prove over 1m6f on earlier evidence while Reshoun finished third behind GUMBALL at Salisbury last month. Philip Hobbs’ winning hurdler has now won all three starts on the Flat and looks worth sticking with despite a further 4lb rise for his latest success.
