Verdict
ARGENTINE had little chance at the weights with Drawnfromthepast in a seller here last time though he did finish clear of the rest including Spirit Of Coniston. A similar effort can see Ian Semple's sprinter register his fourth win over C&D. Twice Red hasn't won since a racecourse debut victory over 6f at this track. He ran his best race since when second at Kempton last week and is preferred to Canadian Danehill, who now looks back in the handicapper's grip after a couple of victories last month. The latter may have trouble confirming recent running with the likes of Sandwith, First In Command and Spic 'n Span here, while Slatey Hen has done all her winning on the Polytrack so far.
