        Verdict

        Argento confirmed the merit of previous promise when landing back-to-back novice events at Hexham and over course and distance and sets a fair standard. However, George Moore's charge had nothing to spare last time and may prove vulnerable under a double penalty. Tribal Dispute should be sharper for his recent return but, along with Shady Man, lacks experience so the TEAMtalk vote goes to The Nomad. Mick Easterby's gelding has provedc a model of consistency over timber having shown useful form to finish runner-up on his last three starts. A reproduction of his narrow defeat in similar grade at Hexham last time may suffice in a weak affair.
