First Folio²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 86| BF| D

10/3

Losing run is mounting up but his mark reflects that and he turned in another creditable effort when third in Scottish Stewards' Cup at Hamilton (6f) 4 weeks ago. This ease in class can help and one to consider for in-form yard.

Form: 37-5643

Eminency^t,v²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: S C Williams| OR: 82| BF| D

11/4

Winless for present stable but largely shaping up well in handicaps, respectable third at Chepstow (6f) 9 days ago before a lesser effort in a first-time visor when eighth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f) on Thursday. Needs to bounce back but definite claims if doing so.

Good Karma⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: James Owen| OR: 78

33/1

Dual 7f winner for James Ferguson who folded tamely when last of 8 on stable debut at Sandown (1m) in July. Stumbled badly and eased off when last of 5 in handicap back at that venue (7f) 9 days ago but he hasn't always looked an easy ride. Down in trip.

Mister Bluebird^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: H Main| OR: 76| D

11/2

Losing run is mounting up but finished a good third in this race 12 months ago and signalled he's ready to strike when filling same spot at Epsom (7f) 2 starts back. Disappointed at Yarmouth on his latest outing 23 days ago but he's a likely candidate to bounce back.

Form: 7-40330

Strike¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: J G Portman| OR: 75| CD

11/2

Landed this race 2 years ago and he comes here better than ever, making it 3 wins from last 4 starts when taking 7-runner handicap at Windsor (6f) 19 days ago, suited by the strong pace. Well worth a look again in present groove despite career-high mark.

Form: 44-1311

Archduke Ferdinand^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: S Spencer| OR: 75| D

10/1

Tasted success twice at up to 1m last year and he comes here on the back of a pair of creditable efforts, fifth of 21 in handicap at York (6f) 22 days ago, albeit seeming to lack a change of gear when needed.

Form: 6-25845

Mart⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 76| D

22/1

Good advert for his yard, victory in 9-runner Lingfield handicap (6f, AW) his fifth since October. Exploits mixed back on turf in recent months, eighth of 9 in a C&D handicap 8 days ago.

Form: 211048

Fine Interview¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Faleh Bughenaim| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 76| D

15/2

Got his career firmly back on track for new stable in recent months, matching the form of his Yarmouth third when registering clear-cut success in 5-runner Ffos Las maiden (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Could have more to offer back in handicaps.

Form: 2-31

Grenham Bay^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 71| D

16/1

Resumed winning ways at Kempton (6f) in March. Efforts mixed next 2 starts on all-weather but possible he'll strip fitter for his first start for 3 months when midfield in 15-runner Windsor handicap (6f) in July.

Form: 921347

Forecasts

Eminency (11/4), First Folio (10/3), Strike (11/2), Mister Bluebird (11/2), Fine Interview (15/2), Archduke Ferdinand (10/1), Grenham Bay (16/1), Mart (22/1), Good Karma (33/1)

This looks an open renewal and with that in mind MISTER BLUEBIRD could well provide a spot of value. He needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Yarmouth on his latest outing but he had previously been shaping as though his turn was near, and he's now 8 lb lower than when third in this race 12 months ago. The class-dropping First Folio, 3-y-o Fine Interview and Eminency, who would be a danger to all if bouncing back from a below-par display at Windsor on Thursday, are also in the mix..
