Formscan - Although Art Of Diplomacy won with ease in selling company at Wetherby in March, the eight-year-old returns to handicap company off a stiff-looking mark. With that in mind, it could be worth sticking with last-time-out Ascot scorer REDBRIDGE RAMBLER. A 7lb higher rating for Martin Keighley's gelding looks far from insurmountable and a double could be on the cards. Market support for handicap debutant Foxinthebox, who is returning from a 714-day absence, would bring him into calculations too.
