Broadoak²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs F M Shaw| OR: 71

7/1

Despite being 8 lb out of the handicap, offered some encouragement on second start over fences when third of 7 at Hereford (2m), having plenty to do from 2 out. Could build on that effort upped in trip.

Form: P06-0P3

Forecasts

Doyannie (1/1), School For Scandal (6/4), Dindin (11/4), Getabuck (4/1), Broadoak (7/1), Le Coeur Net (12/1), Call Me Freddie (25/1)

DOYANNIE has been going the right way since joining Anthony Honeyball, looking value for at least double the final winning margin when scoring at Plumpton on Monday. She can follow up for her in-form yard if turned out again quickly, with School For Scandal the one who can give her most to think about. Dindin is the pick of the remainder.
