HIDDEN DEPTHS was second in a higher grade contest at Market Rasen last month. He does have five lengths to find with Post No Bills on earlier Cartmel running but is 4lb better off and the latter has been beaten off today’s higher mark the last twice. It was soft going when Tiger Orchid won over a longer trip at Worcester and he has a penalty to carry but Mole Court looks a threat after a couple of victories at the latter track. Inishbiggle was last of three at Bangor and has had wind surgery since.
