Argentino hasn't impressed with his jumping in his opening runs for Willie Mullins though he ran much better at Thurles last time and, with further progress virtually guaranteed, he has to come into the reckoning. I Knew Well has been unfortunate not to lose his maiden tag and reverts back to the minimum trip after two fine runs over further. His close second over this track and trip behind Sir Abbot in October sets the standard here though it's MASTER APPEAL, who wasn't far behind him in that event on his racecourse debut, who should have made enough progress to turn the tables and take this. Shake It Up hasn't had much luck since landing a point at Kinsale in 2013 and can do better while Table Tips would be a threat if getting a run from her reserve spot.
