Verdict
I BID YOU AJOU is still unexposed and can record a fourth consecutive success at the track, the previous 3 all coming at 6f. Exquisite Acclaim ran well in a big field at the Curragh last month and is respected from the same mark, with Four Blondes worth another chance to confirm her promising Gowran effort having not been seen to best effect in that same contest.

VerdictDidn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap (11/2) at Limerick (8f, good) 28 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Trainer going well but 3 lb higher mark demands more.
