In depth
Verdict
Not an inspiring claimer at all, with 12 going to post. The likely favourite is Softly after her fourth at Bath last time, but even that form is nothing special. Bobby Kennard has shaped well on both starts and was nearly successful on his Lingfield debut. It might be worth keeping an eye on the betting moves as far as Dig Even Deeper is concerned. He must surely be better than his debut last of seven at Ayr indicates, and as the stable's runners all improve for a run, Dig Even Deeper would not be a surprise winner.
