Forecasts

Argento Boy (11/10), The Big Westerner (4/1), Son Of Anarchy (4/1), Springt De La Mare (13/2), Masterboy Davis (11/1), Did I Ask You That (28/1), Flemensface (28/1), Jerisk Star (40/1), Monroes Hollow (200/1), Grannys Yaris (250/1), Mighty Soldier (250/1), Garde My Fortune (250/1)

ARGENTO BOY showed plenty of ability in bumpers and rates an exciting novice hurdling prospect given his size/pedigree. Springt de la Mare would have been placed but for falling at the last on hurdles bow here last winter and is next best ahead of point winner The Big Westerner.
