Watt Broderick won well at Stratford last Saturday but failed to pick up when odds-on at Taunton on Monday - he may be ready for a break. Rock A Doodle Do and Spin Cast have had plenty of chances but the four-year-old Rayak is better than he showed at Sandown earlier this month and makes more appeal than the returning Pippa Greene, who goes well fresh but was well behind Hartside here in November. LOOKING ON was far from disgraced on his reappearance at Sedgefield. He has his ground today and, 3lb lower and entitled to strip fitter here, gets the nod.
