In depth
Verdict
Green Lemon, Ogee and Digger Girl are the three to consider here and preference is for Green Lemon. Ogee and Digger Girl both represent Sir Michael Stoute and Kieren Fallon¿s preferred mount will no doubt dominate the betting. Ogee is a son of Generous and shaped well on his latest start when finishing an unlucky fifth at Yarmouth, having been denied a clear run at a crucial stage. Digger Girl makes her debut here but is from the family of High Chaparral and any market move should be heeded. Green Lemon though has to be the form pick. Having run well on his Newbury debut he then finished a good third at Lingfield. Out of a dam who is a half-sister to the Classic winner Midway Lady there is sure to be improvement to come and Green Lemon can lead them home.
