Broughtons Star is 0-15 over hurdles but his latest third at Gowran gives him a chance in a race like this. Mr Globetrotter and Henpecked have both run well on the Flat since last seen over timber and are others to consider but the four-year-old BAHKIRATE was taking on slightly better opposition here last time having produced a remarkable run to get off the mark over course and distance on her previous start. She’s not straightforward but has the ability to land this if in the mood.
