15/8

Found one too good for the third time on the back of a gelding operation in 5f maiden at Thirsk (5f) 28 days ago, but that form has been franked since, so he's well respected.

8/15

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable 2½ lengths fifth of 10 to Steel Bull in Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood (5f, good, 3/1) 28 days ago, slowly away. Sets a good standard down in novice company.

Form: 2225

Forecasts

Significantly (8/15), Digital (15/8), Jacattack (14/1), Royal Advice (33/1), Dusk Art (50/1), Rory (66/1), Penombre (100/1)

DIGITAL was runner-up for a third time at Thirsk last month, but he was unlucky to bump into a good prospect, and with the time also suggesting it was an above-average race of its type, he's worth another chance to get off the mark. Significantly sets the standard back in novice company, with stablemate Jacattack worth a market check.
