Arlo's Sunshine won this last year and scored again here last month. He's only a pound higher than that last victory though his rider claimed 7lb that day. Runner-up Chagall hasn't enhanced the form but Spanish Mane, who was over seven lengths behind, needed the run and showed major improvement to be beaten just a neck on a return visit. Brilliant Blue has never won but has gone close the last twice though REVOLUTIONARY MAN gets the vote to complete a double after a comfortable victory at Lingfield.
