Dig Deep hasn’t run over 7 furlongs since December 2006 which is a bit surprising as he is 3 wins from 7 at that distance. He is well handicapped but has been running quite poorly over sprint distances. If the return to further does the trick he would have a good chance tomorrow in the Musselburgh 8.10. A more obvious selection would be Birkside in the 6.10. He is a winner of 14 races during his career although yet to get off the mark for his present trainer. This looks a fair opportunity for him although he will be a short price.
At Nottingham the race that interests me is the 6.25. With only 5 runners over a staying trip it could develop into a tactical affair. Red Kestrel and Hada Men look the pair to concentrate on. Red Kestrel is creeping down the weights but I just favour Hada Men ridden by William Buick who rode him to victory a couple of runs ago.
