Angel Sprints, Geojimali and Linda Green all have solid claims and we side with Angel Sprints. The mare won recently on fast ground but she seems capable of acting on any surface and today's six furlongs will far from inconvenience. Geojimali ran a stormer at Doncaster and has to be respected at this grade. Faster conditions probably would have suited on that occasion. Linda Green doesn't know how to run a bad race and her yard are certainly in form. Swinbrook has had plenty of chances and has proved a pain to his long suffering backers. Brunelleschi has paid the penalty for consistency earlier in the season while Stonecrabstomorrow is moderate but does make some measure of appeal in receipt of weight. A difficult getting out stakes and we stick with a sprinter in form with Angel Sprints securing a verdict.
