AYE AYE DIGBY, Red Cape and Barons Spy are shortlisted and the vote goes to Aye Aye Digby. The selection hails from the Henry Candy yard and he won well when last seen out when he got the better of Pumpkin. He handles a bit of cut in the ground so he has conditions to suit and he can get his head in front again. Red Cape is in good form but he has a 6lbs penalty for his latest success at Ripon and that could leave him vulnerable today. Barons Spy is exposed but he has been in good heart and on current form he looks capable of bagging some prize money. Everymanforhimself is better than he showed last time and he is another to consider with the visor replacing the blinkers. However, we will stick with Aye Aye Digby as the selection.
