In depth
Verdict
York winner Fine Wine remains 6lb higher while Alligator Alley’s earlier win at Thirsk came in a lower grade sprint. Night On Earth won a conditions race at Nottingham in August while Digital has switched yards since finishing runner-up at Chelmsford in September. CAME FROM THE DARK (NAP) faded in the closing stages in heavy going at Doncaster last month but has won off a higher mark in the past and Ed Walker’s grey gets another chance in this.
