SWEET PURSUIT bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins. All ground comes alike to Rod Millman’s fiIly so today’s soft going will not be a problem and she can confirm last month’s running with Mooroverthebridge. Incentive won last year’s renewal off a 5lb lower mark and will also handle the underfoot conditions but Temeraire and the less-exposed Tafawoq have something to prove on today’s surface. Molls Memory was still well beaten when runner-up over 7f at Haydock and makes her handicap debut.
