In depth
Verdict
Discomatic never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Chelmsford but DEEP SIGH failed by only a head at Kempton on her latest start. David Simcock’s filly can go one better in this. Twilight Twist wasn’t beaten that far when only sixth at Lingfield on his debut while Norman Kindu finished in front of stablemate Dr T J Eckleburg when placed at Newcastle last month. Lawmans Blis is related to a couple of winners and preferred to the selection’s stable companion Mindspin of the newcomers.
