Blue Sky Boy¹⁹

5/2

Lightly-raced gelding who posted career best when close second of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 19 days ago, clear of rest. Likely contender.

Further Measure^p⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: S D Bowen| T: M Murphy| OR: 57| CD

2/1

Arrives in fine form having won 2 of his last 3 starts, latest when comfortably taking 9-runner handicap over C&D 7 days ago. 4 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent further success.

Form: 752-141

Quercus Robur^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Nicol| OR: 60| D

50/1

Forecasts

Further Measure (2/1), Blue Sky Boy (5/2), Star Legend (9/2), Dark Mystery (11/2), Doublethetrouble (8/1), Corsican Caper (40/1), Quercus Robur (50/1)

FURTHER MEASURE posted his best effort for current connections when scoring over C&D last week and looks well in under a penalty. He can follow up. Dark Mystery and Blue Sky Boy rate the principal dangers.
