Verdict
Argentine gets the vote here with Aahayson and Riotous rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fifth behind Northern Fling last time out, this looks easier and despite top weight he will be hard to beat. Aahayson rates the main danger on his latest second behind Onenightinlisbon but he has given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and is passed over for that reason . Riotous is another worthy of respect as he was third behind Vale Of Belvoir last time that form looks rock solid and he should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Mazin Lady is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Argentine.
