In depth
Verdict
Broughton Zest has relished a step up in trip this term to land back to back wins at Yarmouth and Beverley and was far from disgraced last time out at Redcar. Her proven stamina will come into play in the prevailing conditions and the daughter of Colonel Collins should go close despite a 5lb penalty. Vizulize is difficult to assess having shown little in maidens but may do better on her handicap bow if handling the ground while similar comments apply to Stratosphere. Royal Mirage found 11f on soft ground too far last time and is another to consider over a trip which should suit.
