3.50 REAL ARMANI; 4.00 CUDGEL; 6.00 LITTLE ORANGE; 8.00 SHAUGHNESSY; 10.00 SANDHURST LAD (IRE); SCORPO (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
REAL ARMANI made it back-to-back course-and-distance victories here recently and could prove tough to beat in search of a quick-fire hat-trick. He is backed to once again confirm superiority over the consistent Cudgel, who was not far back in third, then second, behind the selection the last twice. A chance is also given to Simon Waugh's Carlisle runner-up Little Orange stepping up in trip.
