Verdict

BROCTUNE RED has the best recent form of this modest bunch having just missed out at Doncaster last time and may be the one to side with. Glaceon finished well behind the selection on her return and Burguillos may be a bigger threat slipping even further down the weights. Loose Chippings and Rebel State won on the all-weather last year while Palazzo scored at Southwell back in February but the returning Frankster has only won a maiden in 23 starts.
