BROOMFIELD has yet to win a race but looked certain to do so here last month until running out of steam under top weight in a 2m5f handicap. This looks his trip and he can gain his first success. Tistory has to concede him 7lb after his victory over three rivals at Ludlow and that could prove just beyond him. Gallery Exhibition is another with a penalty for a Ludlow success where he looked more of a staying type. Fine Words was making his hurdling debut when runner-up to the promising Captain Cutter at Kempton and should improve enough to get involved .
