Archie Brown (Ire)

Won at Market Rasen in February 2021 and having been seen just twice since, shaped better than the bare result on his return from a long absence at Sedgefield, looking on a mark he can be competitive off before lack of fitness/stamina seemed to become an issue.

Landed a gamble on just his second start over fences at Uttoxeter and impressive when following up at Chepstow (26.2f, good to soft) in February. Took a step backwards in form terms at Stratford 5 weeks ago, though.

Runner-up 4 times over fences in 2021/22 and despite a quiet spell has been leaving the impression he has a small race in him, again hinting at a revival back over fences (5 lb out of the handicap) at Fontwell.

Point winner who had shaped encouragingly prior to departing on chasing debut at Hexham and, with his confidence clearly unaffected, got off the mark under Rules back there a fortnight ago, stamina clearly very much his strength. More to come.
