Verdict
A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap chase and a chance is taken on Broadbrook Lass. She won well at Bangor last time out has conditions in her favour and although she has top weight she will be hard to beat. Favoured Option was a good second behind Over Zelous over a longer trip and he should be suited by this shorter distance. Salford is also worthy of consideration he won well when defeating Dick McCarthy last time out and that rival has since franked the form so although he has risen in the weights he could go well at a fair price. Bronhallow was third behind Kick For Touch last time out and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Of the remainder Dealer Del is from a yard in form and he is worth a cautionary look in the market.
