The Newbury victory of BROUGHTON GOLD (NAP) can be upgraded as several of those in behind have run well in defeat since. Atzeni has been claimed to ride Leicester scorer Esprit Rose but James Doyle is a more than adequate substitute and Tom Clover’s gelding can defy a 7lb rise and complete his hat-trick. Abstemious won on soft going over 6f at York last year and looked to be on the way back over 7f at Doncaster while the ground will also suit Asmund and Jump The Gun. Chairmanic should be winning before much longer and makes his handicap debut today.
