A bad race in which ARGENTINE might be capable of nicking the pot at the expense of Trinculo and Spirit Of Coniston. Lenny Lungo is not a name noted for five furlong sprinters but he won well off a mark of 51 and can confirm form with a number of those rivals today. Trinculo is interesting now that he has been dropped down to five furlongs. He has plenty of early pace and it's only a shame that we don't have any four furlong races in this country. Spirit Of Coniston has a decent draw to work from as winners have invariably obtained down the centre of the course. His achilles heel is his tendency to hang left under pressure. Decider ties up a number of lines of form. His consistency means that the assessor has had plenty of chance to check his sums. Little Eden would be very much of interest in the event of any market support. A winner on debut, he has not been seen out since May of last year. Mujma waltzed in at Kempton off a mark of 45. This is sure to be a fast run race so he can ill afford to be as far off the pace as he was on that occasion. Handsinthemist has only had two attempts on the all-weather though has ran a number of placed efforts on the turf. Tenacious is making a British debut having been campaigned between six and eight furlongs in Italy. Argentine is in form and should continue to prosper from a lowly mark.
