Verdict
BROUGHTONS DAY makes most appeal in this closer. He found only Abriachan too good over 7f here a week ago and, with scope for further improvement on only his fourth start, Willie Musson's charge can get the better of more exposed rivals. The veteran San Antonio turned back the clock with an easy win at Southwell last Tuesday but will find life tougher under a penalty here and Saddlers Bend could prove a bigger threat having posted a couple of good efforts at Wolverhampton of late. Paedar Miguel looks on a decent mark if back to his best and Having A Ball has place claims.
