10/1

8-time course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 9/1) 16 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip. Must improve.

Forecasts

Sparkle In His Eye (9/4), Makambe (3/1), No Diggity (11/2), Voltaic (17/2), Critical Thinking (10/1), Street Poet (11/1), Quoteline Direct (12/1), One To Go (14/1), Broughtons Flare (28/1), Purple Poppy (40/1), Right Action (40/1), Homegrownalligator (50/1)

NO DIGGITY is in tremendous form and he should be able to follow up his Kempton win off a 3 lb higher mark. Sparkle In His Eye won here on Monday and he'll be a danger up in trip as he bids for a hat-trick. Makambe looks the next best option.
