BROAD APPEAL has forged a good relationship with Tyler Saunders this season, the combination proving competitive on all four starts. The value of consistency cannot be stressed too much in such contests and the Portman gelding should be on the premises once again with trip and ground to suit and inhabiting a decent mark. Adam West is enjoying his best season to date by some way and Couldn't Could She has a fair claim here if on a going day but she is admittedly back up in grade and her profile is somewhat inconsistent. Grange Walk produced a best run of the campaign recently and is respected along with the solid and admirable veteran, Lunar Deity.
