A maiden that has been won by Eldar Eldarov and King Of Steel in recent years, so it's definitely worth watching back with a view to 2025 and beyond. ARCHIVIST has chased home a couple of exciting colts on his last two starts and was ahead of Lunar Orbit when second to Saturday's Zetland Stakes winner Starzintheireyes at Leicester. The 600,000gns son of Dubawi sets a fair standard, although New York Minute offered encouragement on his Doncaster introduction and should step forward. Smoken and Displaying made six-figure sums as yearlings and have to be watched closely on debut.

ARCHIVIST improved again when runner-up at Newmarket and looks more than capable of winning a race of this type. New York Minute shaped well in what was likely a decent Doncaster maiden, while his stablemate Smoken looks the pick of the newcomers.

It is hard to get away from Sir Michael Stoute's ARCHIVIST, who sets a useful stadard and is open to more progress upped in trip.

MISS WONG attracted some market support ahead of her Haydock debut and although she ultimately had to settle for third, she was only beaten a length behind smart prospects with previous experience. With the run expected to bring her forward, she edges the vote over fellow Study Of Man filly Revoir, who is a half-sister to the stable's Coronation Stakes runner-up Remarquee. Magic Runner is another debutant to note.

Ralph Beckett captured this prize last year and is fancied to repeat the feat with REVOIR who is bred to be useful. Fellow newcomer Magic Runner also appeals on paper and could emerge as the main danger with Haydock debut third Miss Wong appealing as the pick of those with experience.

This may be decided between MISS WONG, whose debut looked easily the most promising effort among those who have run, and Revoir.

A busy first campaign is showing no sign of taking a toll on Law Degree judging by his Ripon triumph, while Summer Of Light is edging closer to the winner's enclosure. They come up against some interesting newcomers to the nursery ranks, though, not least ORCHARD, who has progressed with racing and an initial mark of 69 appears workable. Romantic Spirit, Bright Lily, Commander Flavius and Knights Gold fall into the same bracket.

ORCHARD has seemingly been brought along with nurseries in mind so gets the vote having been a big eyecatcher at Kempton on his qualifying run. Law Degree is feared most having made a decisive last-to-first move at Ripon, with Summer of Light best of the others.

Law Degree and Summer Of Light have shown their effectiveness in soft-ground nurseries. ORCHARD is a promising nursery debutant.

A drop in class will come as a welcome relief to top-weight Aerion Power, whose latest Doncaster third suggests he ought to be more than competitive from an unaltered rating. The son of Kingman does have a bit to prove on forecast soft ground, however, and mudlark LAAFI could provide some value. William Haggas' charge wasn't disgraced when returning from a break at Newbury last month and that form has worked out well. Loyal Touch was nudged up 4lb for his recent Pontefract triumph, but these are his ideal conditions and he is expected to go well again.

George Boughey's MR ALAN has bagged the last two runnings of this and now back at his ideal trip after an encouraging Hamilton fifth last time he is taken to complete the hat-trick. Laafi is weighted to go well and should be all the better for his recent Newbury fourth so rates a big threat. In-form duo Loyal Touch and Aerion Power can both have a say too.

Mr Alan is feared on his bid to win this race for the third year in succession, but OUR GOLDEN ONE (back in trip) gets the vote.

Havana Gila (third) finished ahead of Pont Neuf (fifth) and Jm Jhingree (seventh) at Chester last month, and there are no obvious reasons to suggest the form will be reversed. That said, preference is for I NEED YOUR LOVE, who seemed to handle cut in the ground at Carlisle before recording a narrow success at Redcar three weeks ago. Raised 3lb in the ratings, the son of Zoustar may well be up to the task. Lovat Scout is another to consider.

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to PONT NEUF who wasn't seen to ideal effect when fifth at Chester last time out and can now capitalise on a 2 lb weights drop and secure a third victory of the season. Redcar scorer I Need Your Love is next on the list ahead of Jm Jhingree and Loyal Scout.

Havana Gila and Lovat Scout have good claims but I NEED YOUR LOVE got off the mark in encouraging style last time.

Hiya Maite and Stash The Cash are pacey types capable of setting a searching gallop on the forecast going and have plenty to recommend them. However, a strong tempo could set things up nicely for FANTASY MASTER, who is a dual C&D winner and must hold every chance of further success from the same mark as when a respectable fourth at Ascot most recently, and just 5lb higher than for last month's win at Doncaster. Navello completes the shortlist.

The in-form SOLAR ACLAIM gets the vote with conditions in his favour. Navello also arrives at the top of his game and is next best ahead of Ecclesiastical.

Solar Aclaim is greatly respected but FANTASY MASTER loves it at Nottingham and he's coming here at the top of his game.

Mehmo encountered similar conditions when he landed an apprentices' race over C&D on his penultimate start and is a key player fresh from a break. So Grateful and previous course winner Enderman can also get competitive on these terms, but recent form suggests MARCHING MAC is thriving on being kept busy. Off just 2lb higher than for his facile Brighton success, he can strike again back on turf after a near-miss from this rating at Chelmsford.

MARCHING MAC rates the pick of these weights so looks the way to go in a race where a few have question marks against them. So Grateful is next on the list on the back of his solid Hamilton third, although both Fortunate Star and Endowed need factoring in too.

Key horse MARCHING MAC (nap) has a fine chance if a busy spell does not catch up with him. Mehmo may capitalise if it does.
