EXIT STRATEGY looks the form pick on paper and is taken to land this seller with both Oi Vay Joe and Who's Winning worth noting. The selection has proved he is good enough to win low grade handicaps or sellers this season winning at Chepstow back in June and was only narrowly beaten in this grade at Lingfield last time out. He does get the penalty for his sole success this summer but if he is able to reproduce his recent form he could prove difficult to beat. Oi Vay Joe will welcome this drop back to selling company and is more than capable of being in the shake up after showing only moderate form in better handicaps of late and any market moves should be noted. Who's Winning has winning form at this track which is always a bonus but he has since disappointed against similar company so is therefore not one to totally trust, so for the winner we return to Exit Strategy.
