Solid tempo anticipated with Street Culture and Star Decorum pressing forward with Archdeacon not far away. ARCHDEACON (8) is a last start winner in a similar race at Quorn and strikes the right race to make it back-to-back wins. He won't be too far away from a low draw and, if he's within a few lengths at the 400m, he'll be hard to hold out. STAR DECORUM (7) finished alongside of Archdeacon at Quorn, gets a small weight swing in his favour and is potentially open to more improvement. WHISKY SOUR (3) is another that can improve with the last-start run under his belt. Don't know he can win but he can finish top three. In a modest race, UNISPHERE (2) and STREET CULTURE (1) are others that warrant a bit of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Archdeacon to win.
