Verdict

Southwell winner Motahassen took advantage of a lower mark back on Turf to win again at Leicester. But he’s been raised 5lb today and FRANCISCO BAY is preferred. The latter arrives fresh from winning at Kempton and finished runner-up in a higher grade contest over track and trip last summer. Mac Ailey went close at Ripon a fortnight ago and will handle the soft ground but Lingfield runner-up Fair Power hasn’t won on Turf since 2017. Redgrave has a poor strike rate and slips further down the weights while Delph Crescent is back on a winning mark and showed signs of a return to form at Beverley last time.
