PIENTRE D 'ARGENT had shown good progress last season with three wins to her credit, but she looked better than ever when landing an apprentice race at Newbury on her return to action. She ran out an easy eight length winner on that occasion and escapes a penalty in her bid to follow-up. Bollin Greta also made a winning reappearance over today's trip at Nottingham and should go well again, while Dar Es Salaam should be winning soon after finishing second on his last two starts. French Hollow recorded a double on the all-weather in January and has place claims off his current mark.
