Broughton Excels has placed in all three outings at Chelmsford since scoring at the latter track in September while Jeffrey Harris landed a double here with last month’s success over the minimum trip. He should figure again despite a 4lb rise but HERRINGSWELL scored with a bit to spare over track and trip last time when defying a 6lb rise for an earlier win at Yarmouth and the hat-trick beckons for Henry Spiller’s filly. Aquarius won at Wolverhampton recently and is preferred to Eleuthera and I Know How of the remainder.
