Forecasts

Archivist (4/5), New York Minute (2/1), Smoken (6/1), Lunar Orbit (12/1), Displaying (25/1), Herculeus (40/1), Masterinthewoods (50/1), Frostmagic (66/1), Rogue Empire (100/1)

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.
