Verdict
Broadway Ranger went within a short-head of catching the winner at Doncaster last time and My Inspiration ran well again when third at Redcar. But both are more exposed than TELMEYD, who finished a lot closer at Newbury than his finishing position suggests. The William Haggas-trained colt should make a bold bid with that debut effort under his belt and gets the nod. Red Forever has little chance on today's terms and Ach Alannah was beaten a distance on her introduction.
