ARGENTO BOY can't have been right at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting and is given another chance to confirm the promise of his course hurdle debut second. Gordon Elliott's Son of Anarchy should build on his hurdle debut fourth here in November and is the obvious danger. Minella Post may prove best of the rest.
