A losing favourite over 1m2f on a couple of occasions, ARGENTELLO came good at Yarmouth last time when dropped down to today’s trip. John Gosden’s colt is fancied to show further progress and defy a penalty. Connections will be hoping the drop in distance also works for Moving Forward given he failed to figure over 1m3f at Kempton on his introduction while Ajddarr showed some improvement to place at Nottingham last time without threatening the winner. Sheila's Empire has plenty to find but may still prove best of the rest.
