ARGENTELLO ON THE MARCH

John Gosden’s Argentello had shown up well in three decent maidens before winning at Yarmouth last time out and looks the best bet of the day at Windsor tomorrow.

The Intello colt had the misfortune of bumping into some decent sorts such as Nordic Lights and Chief Ironside, but he made no mistake on his fourth run.

He looks like a late-maturing type and Gosden is obviously keen to get more experience into him in the Berks, Bucks And Oxon Royal Arch Freemasons’ “Confined” Novice Stakes before going handicap ping.

Gosden could get the afternoon off to a fine start in the Harte And Garter Hotel Handicap with Tivoli.

A winner at Wolverhampton in April, she was well beaten in a Listed race at Nottingham last time out. Dropped 2lb for that, though, and back at a more realistic level, she can defy top weight.

The return to a quicker surface will help Fast Dancer in the Mark Masons Celebration Handicap.

Joe Tuite’s charge won at Chester the time before last, despite being posted wide, and he was fancied to follow up back there last time out.

Nevertheless the winner of that Chester event, Aasheq, did the business in the Cumberland Plate midweek so it might not have been a bad event.

Now that David Pipe has managed to get a win out of Celestial Path over timber he should be followed in the bet365.com Handicap Hurdle at Uttoxeter.

Tom George is having a really good go at the Marston’s Pedigree Summer Cup with The Romford Pele, Stellar Notion and Drumlee Sunset. They might have to fight it out for the places, though, as Ballyalton shaped with promise over hurdles last time out and is handicapped to win if he retains all his ability.
