TOUR D'ARGENT got off the mark over hurdles when odds-on at Doncaster last month and should have few problems defying his penalty in this to cap a successful afternoon for the Henderson team. Well Mett may be the one for forecast-backers as he's already won a bumper and should have learned from his run behind San Telm over C&D, though he was beaten a long way. The others need to improve significantly on what they've shown so far if they are to figure.
