Verdict

Competitive fayre here for a relatively small field, with Martiloo, Muwalla and Welcome Ben all likely to be high on short-lists given their recent form, but the suggestion is ARGENTIX, who looks very interesting over this shorter trip if Derek Fox can employ similar tactics to last time. Yes Tom drops in class and has the champ up, which are two reasons why we should probably have a cursory glance at the market, although this trip really ought to place too much emphasis on speed for the old boy.
