Evan Williams appears to hold the aces here, with both Radical Archie and THE GIPPER coming into this in good form. The Gipper won with some authority at Lingfield and under ideal conditions again, will take some beating if over those exertions. Llantara will be around to pick up the pieces if they go too fast up front, and she cannot have the ground slow enough.
