After finishing second at Haydock on his hurdling debut, CAPTAIN BROOMFIELD bled from the nose after failing to land the odds at Huntingdon in January. He’s been given plenty of time to recover and has travelled a long way for this. Ninetofive looks the type to make a hurdler and Hashtag Lord showed promise at Navan at the start of the year. Call Me Harry won bumpers last season at Newcastle and Musselburgh while former pointers Heros De Moutiers and Snake Roll should also have a future.
