FormscanBy Michael Graham - TRUE STATESMAN didn't go unbacked when a close fourth in a much-higher grade at this track a fortnight ago. He has to be of interest off the same mark of 72 especially as he used to compete off significantly higher ratings in Britain. Expound could be nicely treated with Amy Jo Hayes taking 7lb off his back. His eighth place in a massive-field maiden at the Curragh in April stands up to scrutiny as an absolute plethora of winners have come out of that race. In effect, he races off a mark of 68 which is appealing. Rio Largo kept on for fourth on quick ground over CD this month which gives him a chance.
