Digital is taken to roll back the years at the expense of Sands of Barra and Guadaloup. Although not ideally drawn, this should not be a problem for Mick Channon's veteran as he needs to be brought through the pack with a late run. He has run with credit over six but appeals as a better option over today's seven. Sands of Barra has similar draw issues although any firming up of the surface should help. The grey is well treated on old form and cannot be totally discounted in a race that lacks much depth. Guadaloup has to be respected in events of this nature although his latest run owed much to the waiting tactics being overcooked. Bold Haze has been withdrawn from a host of engagements on ground issues so would be of interest if turning up on Monday. Pay Time has to be respected given the stable's current run of form. Dulce Sueno can be expected to run on at the death although punters will be hoping that it will be thirteenth time lucky this afternoon! Not too many in here with realistic chances on the formbook and in the absence of market information, Digital is taken to land the spoils.
