NEIL HARVEY is likely to be short odds to dispose of Ironical and Argentato. Neil Harvey went into many notebooks after an eyecatching debut at the course earlier this month and while it's impossible to be dogmatic at this level, a repeat of that effort should suffice today. Ironical will be no pushover. Well backed ahead of his appearance in a Taunton bumper, his inexperience looked to be the cause of defeat on that occasion. Argentato represents the Caroline Bailey yard and is one to note in the market. The same being applicable to the Milton Harris trained, Torta Nel Cielo. Playing With Fire faced a hopeless task on debut against the useful Red Harbour. The filly will be in receipt of all the allowances and under the likely ground conditions, the absence of weight should prove helpful. All The Fashion met with significant trouble in running at Hereford and is probably better than that line of form suggests. Some interesting sorts on view but Neil Harvey has the best form on offer.
