No recent winning form on offer though a couple have shaped as though this extra distance will suit including Ffos Las runner-up Walk In The Storm, who finished in front of Lady Berlais on that occasion. But BROOMFIELDS CAVE caught the eye making late progress over 2m3f at Taunton last time and gets the vote to open his account in this. Invincible De Mee has placed recently without troubling the winner while Ffree Pedro may improve now handicapping.
