ARBOURFIELD and Mr Ormsby filled the first two placings in a tight finish here recently and should again lay down serious challenges. The latter was perhaps unlucky last time out but has been done no favours by the draw and that is enough to swing the vote in favour Oisin Orr's mount. Rivellino also has a high stall to overcome but he joins Red Avenger, Art Nouvelle, Ducky Mallon and previous course winner Seanie on an extensive shortlist for a wide open apprentice contest where good fortune may be required.
