Four of these re-oppose after finishing behind Nice Style here a fortnight ago. The Cayterers finished fourth on that occasion followed by Audemar and Hidden Glory further back. SCAMPERDALE finished a close-up seventh and he looks the one to take out of the race as the others got first run on him. Ridden closer to the pace here, Brian Baugh's charge is fancied to come out on top this time. Reve De Nuit seems better on the Fibresand but Denton and Realisation are not easily dismissed in what looks a tight handicap.
