HOT DIGGITY DOG gets the vote in a weak contest having won over 6f here before beaten only a neck over today’s minimum trip last time when ahead of Lovely Mana. The latter’s stablemate Foxy Rascal should be sharper for a recent comeback run at Wolverhampton and beat El Hadeeyah in novice company here last year. Both the latter and Bellarena Lady have their first outings since September, however, and Murbih makes his handicap debut.
