Plenty with claims in the closing event. Archi's Affaire has been raised 3lb for winning over 1m4f at Hamilton while Armandihan was placed over the same distance at Thirsk. Lynwood Gold went close over 1m6f at Musselburgh with Amazing Michele back in third and Super Kid was placed at on soft going Chester recently. Gordon Elliott sends new addition Fools And Kings and also Ocean Voyage over from Ireland but NEVER SURRENDER found only one too good in testing ground at Haydock a fortnight and gets the vote dropping down in class for this.
