        chased leaders, effort to dispute final bend, no extra well inside final furlong

        In depth

        Verdict

        EMBOLDEN has switched yards and drops in class for this. He should go close if running anywhere near his handicap mark. Herodotus finished last of seven dropped into a claimer at Lingfield last time and needs to reverse running with third-placed Rosie Mccann while Promises has had just the one outing at Kempton and I'm Digby has plenty to find with the selection on these terms.
