The Real Article - His controversial performance at Tipperary 11 days ago could hardly have grabbed any more headlines, but it is now time to draw a line in the sand as far as that is concerned. The gently handled and progressive six-year-old was beaten a short head by Captain Cee Bee and re-opposes on much better terms. Taking Patrick Mangan’s claim into account, The Real Article is no less than 28lbs better in with his rival and you really have to fancy him to reverse those placings. The handicapper says The Real Article is a whopping 18lbs well in and if he is only half right then it doesn’t take a genius to work out that Edward O’Grady’s charge may well have a lot in hand. The downside is his relative lack of experience and the fact that this will be his first venture into handicap company.
Captain Cee Bee is a class act, but there is no denying that the evidence points to him having a mountain to climb
