Digital looks the one to be on here and he gets the vote at the main expense of Mr Velocity and Distant Connection. The selection confirmed his well-being when finishing second behind Polar Bear at Newcastle last time. He has got form on this track, will relish these conditions and although he is not ideally drawn he should be capable of a big run. Mr Velocity rates the main danger and he is in top form at the moment. He justified heavy market support to land the odds at Redcar last time and he is another that will have conditions to suit. He is well drawn and has Kevin Darley in the plate so should go well. Distant Connection has the services of Keiren Fallon and will have conditions to suit and he is another with a fair draw. He ran well enough at Sandown last time but the suspicion is that he is slightly better over further and for that reason he is passed over. Of the rest, Raphael is well drawn and would have a chance on his best form, and Balakiref is from a yard who are flying at present so he should be noted in the market, but for the winner we return to Digital.
