FormscanBy Alan Magee - ARCHIES CHARM recorded an easy win at Downpatrick last year but was then off the track for 12 months before reappearing over hurdles at Galway last month. He was entitled to need that run and subsequently went close over three miles at Down Royal with Arctic Ambition, successful at Thurles on Thursday, well back in third. This 2m4f may prove enough of a stamina test on the testing ground. Gevrey hails from a yard in irresistible form at present and has won three times over fences this year all around this trip. The latest of those victories came at Limerick last month and the form of that win has been boosted since by runner-up Optional Mix. He’s now fitted with cheek pieces after another solid effort at Down Royal. Stablemate Dunboyne is another to consider while Street Value needs to bounce back after a disappointing run at Limerick.
