Proud Archi has won twice around here and from higher marks. His last two runs have been at a higher level since scoring easily at Beverley and has to be on the shortlist. TRINITY LAKE hasn’t won since his debut in April 2019 but he’s run well on several occasions in higher class on this track recently and this could be his chance. Stone Circle would be very difficult to beat if replicating his Class 2 victory on soft ground at Ascot in October but he’s come nowhere near that form subsequently. Brazen Bolt’s two victories have been at Newcastle though there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be as effective on Turf. Singe Anglais is still looking well treated despite scoring at Carlisle in July.
