Verdict
BROOMFIELD HALL won his last two over timber in the spring and made a successful chasing debut on this track when just hanging on. He'll be better for that run and can go in again. The Greek has plenty of experience over fences which should stand him in good stead in this company while Mattie's Mountain wasn't helped by a last-fence error when runner-up in a Listowel handicap. Mount Brown makes his debut over fences and this looks a tough start and Razzle Dazzle Love needs to improve on what she's shown so far.
