Argentino battled on very strongly to just outstay Plinth over 2m6f on good ground at Killarney with Coolmill not far behind in fourth. This shorter trip and a slight pull in the weights give the runner-up every chance of reversing the form and the fourth looks held as he's gone up 8lb for scoring subsequently. Master Appeal is in the form of his life and stepping up to three miles at Clonmel did him no harm last time after his victory over shorter at Tramore. He's been hit with a 10lb rise and has never won on ground other than good which may affect his chances. CHILDRENS LIST (NAP) has won a point-to-point on soft ground and looked one to follow when beating that good yardstick Coldstonesober, who was rated 118, at Downpatrick last month. The runner-up was receiving 11lb and beaten over two lengths so the winner, who is still progressing, should be able to defy a mark of 126 on his handicap debut.
