FormscanBy Tom Weekes - EMPORIO has a concerning 425 days absence to overcome but was quite capable. Frustrating to follow, he nonetheless finished fifth in the 2021 Irish 2,000 Guineas and won a useful Curragh maiden on his last start. Well suited by race conditions and ground-versatile, he has an encouraging entry in the English Cambridgeshire next month. Freescape finished fourth to Lord Glitters in a Meydan Group 2 on turf in February and while smart, may have been flattered by that run as his best form and all five wins have come on the all-weather. Longbourn was well held at Ballinrobe but has race-fitness on his side and receives weight, under his 3lb claimer. Three year old Exquisite Acclaim reappears for new connections, has been gelded since his last run and has claims if returning to his Listed-fourth placing in April. Alessandro Algardi has been well beaten twice this year.
