        Verdict

        There was nothing wrong with Argentine's second over C&D last time as he had Tancred Spirit and previous winner Steel City Boy behind. However, he hasn't scored for nearly two years now and preference is for NAFA. He also finished runner-up here recently with Sharp Shoes back in fifth and can add to August's Ayr victory in this similar contest. Fear Nothing has dropped to a tempting mark if taking to the Fibresand, but last week's maiden runner-up Gorgeous Goblin has a bit to find.
