Verdict
ARGENTINE won over 6f at Ayr for Ian Semple in August and is taken to make a winning start for his new trainer in this lesser company. Khelino has every chance having finished a close-up fifth here last time after winning over a mile at the track before that. Mea Parvitas and Spirit Of Grace have both been placed over 6f here recently but Esytopolishadimond makes more appeal on his latest fourth to Samollie, who runs in the previous race. Sophies Echo had a couple of these behind over a mile here a fortnight ago and is another to consider.
