In depth

Verdict

Jeremy Noseda makes the long trip up North with Prairie Dunes. It is interesting that he has elected to stay in maiden company despite being qualified for handicaps and the horse has been up against better opposition than this in the past. Dig Even Deeper is the one to watch in the market. The Johnston yard are in form at the moment and any market confidence must be respected. Neven ran creditably at big odds in a Pontefract maiden behind Dark Charm. The front two have gone on to win since and he could be capable of improvement.
