If the market speaks in his favour, Exmoor could be the one to be on, with Helen House, Grand Show, Over The Limit and, possibly, Heidenheim, suggested as his biggest dangers. The selection has yet to see the racecourse but Roger Charlton's runner has plenty to like on breeding, being by Cape Cross out of a Last Tycoon mare. Watch the betting with interest. Helen House was a fair third to Westland at Yarmouth last time and does not lack for experience, while Grand Show has shown improvement on each start and looks likely to be there or thereabouts. Over The Limit certainly suggested ability when ninth at Doncaster on her debut and, with her stable in form, she is one to pay some heed to, and Heldenheim is another Cape Cross newcomer that should be monitored in the betting. Of the others, High Rhythm looked green on his debut but made late headway, Anfield Dream has shown promise and could improve for the extra furlong today and Silver Bark seems to be improving. Overall, though, if he gets the market vote, we will side with Exmoor.
