Verdict
ARMANDIHAN was narrowly beaten at Redcar recently when caught close home. Kevin Ryan’s charge can go one better today. Manchego was runner-up at Newmarket on his debut in October and steps up in distance for his reappearance. He’s preferred to Twenty Times and Falak while Dayking is a brother to a Group 1 winner in Singapore and should be noted along wih Ed Dunlop’s newcomers Sir Gnet and Colourful Career.
