FOLSOM BLUE will start a warm order here and shouldn't have too many problems breaking his duck. Conor O'Dwyer's charge finished runner-up in a point-to-point on his debut and had some strong bumper form before a very promising hurdling debut behind Turban here when subsequent dual winner Trifolium was just behind. Essexbridge has shown some ability and can prove best of the remainder with Definite Ridge a likely improver after a couple of bumper runs.
