BROXBOURNE won eight times on the Flat up to 2m5f and ended up with a rating of 94. It's more than a year since she last saw a racecourse but that shouldn't be a problem given connections and she gets 14lb from improving Southwell winner Trapper Peak. Key People might need this but point-to-point winner Wild Bill adds to the interest on his debut under Rules.
