In depth
Verdict
Broughtons Berry went close dropped into this lowly grade over track and trip last time with One Last Dream, Overrider and Snow Dancer well beaten. Feeltherhythm has changed trainers since placing at Cork in August and could figure while Edward Elgar has been placed on several occasions this year and the same comment applies to Quite Sparky. But the German raider NICE STORY may have been underestimated as she came up against Godolphin's Stay Strong, rated 68, at Baden-Baden last time and Rudolf Storp's mare has won four times already this year.
