The Hannon yard has won four of the nine renewals so it would be no surprise if Boycie improved on his recent efforts dropped into this grade. But he has plenty to find at the weights with BROUGHTONS FANCY, the winner of a couple of selling races at Wolverhampton this year including her latest start. David Evans’ filly should go close again on these terms. Dismantle could go well dropping into plating company today and Smile of Approval looks best of the rest.
