Verdict

I'm Digby’s only win so far came on the Polytrack here last month but Volcano Bay remains 7lb higher than when successful at Yarmouth last year. Broadhaven is less exposed but has yet to threaten while Limelighter has shown no improvement for a slide down the weights. PLATINUM PRINCE is back on a winning mark and, after finishing closer in a tougher race at Goodwood, Gary Moore’s grey gets a speculative vote fitted with headgear for the first time.
