CUDGEL finished adrift of Real Armani in C&D handicaps on each of his last 3 starts of last term, but he has a good chance of gaining the upper hand on these terms and his record when fresh is another factor which helps to tilt the scales in his favour. Real Armani looks a shade too high in the weights for now and bigger threats may be posed by Deep Charm and Flaming Glory.
