FormscanBy Michael Graham - ARGES has shown more than enough to have a shot at lifting this healthy pot. It is probably best to put a line through his last run when highly tried in a Group 2 in the Curragh. Before that, he had posted a trio of third places and got closer to shedding his maiden tag on each occasion. His placed run in Listowel has been well franked since. His trainer, John Murphy, had a winner at the Galway Festival on Saturday. Acclamation colt Exquisite Acclaim wasn't beaten far into fifth on debut at Fairyhouse and is entitled to improve. Midgetonamission and Lechro are horses that could show up better on their second starts. Eriskay debuts for Dermot Weld and is well worth a market check.
