FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BLUES EMPEROR has a big weight despite his rider's 7lb claim but remains a fraction unexposed on this surface and might follow up last month's course-and-distance win. A four-time winner, his rating had fallen earlier this year before scoring recently and while now raised 6lb, was rated 97 last March and this is just his third career run on the all-weather, so might progress. Three-year-old Black Storm is interesting on handicap debut, having won a maiden here last month. That form is nothing special but is open to further improvement and has form at a mile. Pier Pressure was third to the selection in last month's race and has place claims while Sayifyouwill refused to load in a recent race here.

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (100 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
