In depth
Verdict
Not many of these arrive at the top of their game but that’s not the case with TB BROKE HER (NAP), who revelled in the return to a longer trip when pulling well clear on soft ground at Hereford. She has scope for more off her current mark on that evidence. Grove Silver won off a higher mark last spring and continues to slip down the ratings, despite a recent third at Uttoxeter. Abracadabra Sivola, Gorsky Island, Freddies Portrait and Goohar would all have claims on their best form but Bendomingo was beaten a long way when second over 2m4f here last time.
