In depth

Verdict

Allocated a mark of 80, DIGITAL is difficult to oppose in the opener. He was still well beaten when runner-up at Doncaster last time but the form looks better in hindsight with the winner going on to Listed success and Kevin Ryan’s charge may also improve for being gelded subsequently. Blind Beggar looks next best on form with a decent effort at York on his debut and the latter is preferred to Pixie K. Umm Kulthum, Coley's Koko and Bedford Flyer are all newcomers to note for any significant support.
