Argocat disappointed on the Flat this year after scoring for Paul Cole last season but may do better over hurdles. Chill showed potential in a light career on the level and hasn't run badly in either start over timber but Szabo's Destiny has been in poor form recently. HIS EXCELLENCY, a winner on the Flat for John Oxx, has gradually got the hang of hurdling and his latest narrow defeat by Leroy Parker at Fairyhouse suggests he's ready to gain his first success over timber.
