LADY JANE DIGBY, Kandidate and Baylini look the trio to focus on here, with Lady Jane Digby hailing from the in form Mark Johnston yard taken to score. Lady Jane Digby returned to winning form last time and relished the step up in trip. She beat Baylini with some authority that day, and on only 4lbs worse terms can uphold the form. It is over a year since Baylini won, and this grey mare needs to come down the handicap. Kandidate saddles top weight and though he has finished last on his last two starts, he has run well fresh at the start of the last two campaigns, winning and being second, and he should not be discounted. Mark Johnston had a winner on Tuesday, and Lady Jane Digby may have too much class for her opponents.
