Intervention (15/8), Tyche (10/3), Broughtons Flare (9/2), Inexplicable (13/2), Casina Di Notte (7/1), Healing Power (8/1), Tahonta (14/1), Rose Of Lancashire (25/1), Central City (33/1), Romulan Prince (40/1), Air Of York (80/1)

BROUGHTONS FLARE shaped well (met trouble) when runner-up at Lingfield 8 days ago so, if getting the gaps, he may well be up to gaining some compensation for all this is an open race. Intervention is worthy of interest on his first outing for Mick Appleby and Casina Di Notte also warrants plenty of respect.
