Verdict

Kevin Ryan looks to have found a good chance for DIGITAL to open his account. The latter was doing his best work at the finish when runner-up over the minimum trip at Newcastle on his debut and that’s the strongest form on offer. My Best Friend drops down in distance having ran well for a long way over 7f at Thirsk and is preferred to Better By Far while the newcomer Galeophobia is a speedily-bred full-brother to three winning sprinters and any support in the betting could prove significant.
