ARGENTINE scored over 6f at Ayr on Thursday with Insolenceofoffice back in third. Given he's a C&D winner and has won off higher marks before, Ian Semple's charge can follow-up under a penalty. Only a half-length separated Choc'A'Moca and Novalist at Ripon last time and they drop down a grade today while Cruise Tothelimit slips another couple of pound down the weights and will be taking advantage soon. Pinball could prove best of the rest after showing a bit more at Wolverhampton last time.
