An opening contest where plenty can be given a chance not least Grange Walk who has been knocking on the door of late and nearly got off the mark at Windsor last time. BROAD APPEAL just edges the argument though having formed a good association with his rider Tyler Saunders and he may be rewarded for his consistency here. Lunar Deity also enters the picture if he can reproduce his best form on turf while neither Nordic Flight nor Geranium can be left out of this at bigger prices.
