He’s struggled for form so far this season picking up just one place from seven runs.
That poor run of form has however seen his mark drop to below the mark of 70 in which he last won off last season and if the drop back down to 7f suits him which is likely, he’s got big place chances.

Archimedes looks to be over priced in this Class 6 handicap having been running well over 6f at Southwell recently and if it wasn't for a poor run over 5f last time out he would be much shorter in the betting.
Three and two starts ago the gelding finished second both times in better fields than this and now on a really handy mark he can go well again.

The Dark Horse tip is a newer selection we have introduced to our roster of bets and tips on our site and with it we have tried to look for a new betting angle in races.
The Dark Horse tip is a single horse bet of odds normally 10/1 or above and it is advertised to be placed as an each way bet with the odds being higher than a usual single bet.
This is because you will still get the benefit of the selection if the horse only goes on to place but if it does go on to win you get the benefit of backing a horse at big odds, which everyone is a fan of.
