In depth

Verdict

Diggin Deep finally got off the mark over 3m at Musselburgh recently but has been raised 10b and third-placed SAMTU is taken to reverse running. The latter has won over this shorter trip before though the soft ground is a worry. Wthout a win in Ireland, Glamorous Gold debuts for new connections off an 8lb higher mark and Herecomesnelson is preferred on a fourth at Ayr a fortnight ago. Love At Dawn was placed over track and trip back in April while Airdrigh slips further down the weights.
