FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - ARGENTO BOY had the form of his Punchestown second placing franked when his November time conqueror, The Big Westerner, triumphed in Grade 2 company at Limerick recently. The grey has looked one to follow ever since announcing his arrival with a bang, little under a year ago, in a Fairyhouse bumper. His efforts after that at the top level weren't anything special, but as a staying hurdler better can be expected. The hope would be that Argento Boy's stable companion Port Joulain can get back on track after suffering an over reach to its left fore at Punchestown nearly three weeks back. Harbour Highway let his many backers down badly at Fairyhouse. It would take a leap of faith to row in behind him. The likes of I Am Lorenzo and The Enabler seem more solid.
