Fred Archer never won the Sprint Cup as it was only instigated in 1966, but the horse bearing his nickname could be in with a big shout after his impressive win at Newbury last time.

The Tin Man's trainer James Fanshawe is out to win the Group 1 for the second time after Society Rock's victory in 2012 and is expecting a good run.

"The Tin Man seems in good form at home, but it's hard to tell with him as he never shows much in his work," said Fanshawe. "He's had some time off as he was under the weather for a spell like some of ours, but seems back to himself and we're hopeful he'll run a nice race. Whether his draw in stall six is any good remains to be seen."
