Fair And Square^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Harris| OR: 55

4/1

Very fast but remains a maiden after 29 Flat runs. Proved vulnerable at the finish again when fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f) 19 days ago but dropped another 2 lb and perhaps Oisin Murphy is the man to get him home.

Top Exhibit^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: S C Williams| OR: 52

7/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021 but is well handicapped. Attracted market support at Wolverhampton last time but couldn't get a position from his wide stall. Has fared better with the draw this time and interesting to see whether his supporters' return.

Forecasts

Bungle Bay (9/4), Toplight (5/2), Fair And Square (4/1), Master Sully (5/1), Top Exhibit (7/1), Storm Melody (8/1), Battle Point (11/1), Ellie Piper (33/1), Perfect Symphony (50/1)

Plenty have tried and narrowly failed to conserve FAIR AND SQUARE's energy well enough to get him home in front but he's down at 0-55 level for the first time now and perhaps Oisin Murphy can work his magic. The dangerously well-treated Top Exhibit is feared most ahead of Toplight.
