In depth
Verdict
Winning form is in short supply but Broad Appeal has gone close at Bath the last twice. Star For A Day finished closer at Lingfield last time while Crazy Maisie drops back down in trip with a chance on an earlier second at Lingfield. SUNSET IN PARIS has been thereabouts over track and trip lately and may prove the one to side with.
