In what has the look of a tricky sprint , Exmoor is suggested as the selection ahead of Awitesweetheart and Linda Green. Forces Sweetheart comes here chasing a sixth-successive win. That remarkable sequence has in part been down to some wonderfully enterprising rides from Hayley Turner but the last time that Forces Sweetheart raced against all three-year-olds and upwards of both sexes, she was rated 13 pounds lower than today so she certainly needs to keep the improvement coming. Awitesweetheart often goes well here and is now five pounds below than a track winning mark over five furlongs. Exmoor is on a winning mark from May, while Morse is a course and distance winner that comes here fresher than most and his mark is not too bad. Polliwilline has been given a chance by the handicapper, while Chinalea can be competitive from his current mark but Word Perfect possibly needs to improve if he is to win, but does come here in good heart. Caustic Wit has won from today's mark this year, and course and distance winner Linda Green remains competitive from her mark. In truth, it is a competitive race with our choice being Exmoor.
