Verdict
Digital gets the vote to continue his winning streak having finally returned to the winners enclosure; One Way Ticket, Talcen Gwyn and Endless Summer make it to the shortlist. The selection hung left in the closing stages when successful at Bath having come from the rear under Chris Catlin. He takes the ride once again and evidently gets on well with the horse so another big run could be expected, especially given the fact that he is still feasibly weighted on old form despite his winners penalty. One Way Ticket likes to blaze a trail and should be better suited back at Chepstow than at Bath behind the selection, whilst Talcen Gwyn is another with winning course form who re-opposes with Digital. King Egbert was never in the race on the all-weather last time out but whilst he should run a better race today, he may prefer a drop or two of rain. Endless Summer is consistent and should again run well, whilst Summer Recluse could prove to be the best of Milton Bradley's sprinting army in this race. A toughie to finish with, and the most tentative of votes goes to Digital.
