Argaum and Pindar were both engaged in the same seller at Worcester yesterday. This is a weak race and should either win and come here under a penalty, they would have to be taken into consideration but MASTERFUL ACT, who has won four times on the all-weather including a bumper, still has a bit of untapped potential over hurdles and can give Matthew Barber a second successive win in this race. Mount Vesuvius has gone up in the weights without winning but usually runs his race and is preferred to Monday's Huntingdon winner Ajman.
