Verdict

Having undergone a wind operation, REAL ARMANI finally shed his maiden tag when scoring over C&D recently and the tenacious attitude he showed on that occasion can again tilt the scales in his favour. The third that day, Cudgel, renews rivalry on 2 lb better terms, but he would ideally prefer a slower surface and Prince Dundee, who bagged this prize in 2019, is second choice.

  1. REAL ARMANI
