BROUGHTONS FANCY found an odds-on favourite too good in a plating race at Lingfield last time but this looks easier. David Evan's filly has plenty to spare with December's course winner Sahalin on these terms and gets the vote. Weld Al Khawaneej and Bond's Tricks have even more to find with the selection and Paradise Palm, not beaten far in maiden company in both starts so far, could prove a bigger threat.
