I’m keen to side with the top-weight ALBASHEER here for Archie Watson. This good looking 6yo has really improved lately winning readily over C&D back in January having always travelled well and then followed up back to the minimum here last time. That form looks solid and despite going up another 5lb with a strong pace to target should be the one to beat again. Cover Up has impressed winning his last 3 and looks the most obvious danger as he is unbeaten on the AW too. At a huge price The X O might be able to grab a place as he has caught the eye a few times in defeat and did again at Lingfield only beaten a length and three quarters.

Albasheer - 1pt @ 6/1
