Master Archer (9/4), Stanley (7/2), Percy's Word (9/2), St Mary's (6/1), Chocolate Box (10/1), Its'afreebee (10/1), Jam Session (12/1), Good Time Ahead (25/1)

A horse with nine seconds against one win in his record can never be defined as a solid betting medium, but MASTER ARCHER is in fine form at present, and looks the one they have to aim at. Percy's Word disappointed last time, but has a touch of class and will find this easier, so is suggested as the best alternative, although St Mary's comes here after a good second at Chester, and won't mind any further rain.
