Verdict
Broadbrook Lass would surely have won at Stratford last time when clear of her field and taking a tumble and could represent a bit of value against the likely favourite Dominikus. Richard Johnson teams up with Heather Dalton's mare and the pair might prove tough to beat. Dominikus won well at Market Rasen last time but had his flaws exposed at Hexham the time before and is no certainty. Sure to be thereabouts however Dominkus and Broadbrook Lass look head and shoulders above the opposition.
