Mark Johnston has won this a couple of times in recent years and Broxbourne makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Pearl Catcher. Godber has plenty to find and, though Flurry Of Hands wass runner-up over C&D last week he was still beaten five lengths. Auntie Joy has been running well over 6f of late, but the vote goes to SHEILA'S BUDDY. He gave the impression today's longer trip would suit when runner-up over 6f at Brighton a week ago and Stan Moore's charge looks capable of opening his account here.
