Formscan By Tom Weekes - THRIFTY OF DIGBY showed encouragement on her seasonal reappearance last month and is well suited by this distance and testing ground. Although well beaten on her last run of 2024, the manner in which she finished her recent Leopardstown race suggests she will progress further reverting back to today’s more testing conditions. Better-drawn Martinelli has good recent form and is also ideally suited by these conditions. However, he is held by the selection on two runs last September and October. Counterculture is better than she showed on her recent reappearance run and likes testing ground.
