        Verdict

        The biggest priced winner in ten years has been 6/1 so the market is best followed. Digi has performed with credit in decent maidens over shorter and there's no reason why he won't stay the extra. Sixties Pilgrim ran well for a long way at Leicester and will have benefited from the experience while Fast Cat drops into this lowly grade after three moderate maiden runs. Fable Of Arachne was third of four in a Leicester seller so a chance is taken with BROUGHTONS FANCY. Willie Musson knows how to prepare a newcomer and if the market speaks in this one's favour he's worth a second look as he's related to a couple of winners.
