Verdict

Novices have dominated this lately and that trend can continue courtesy of BROOMFIELD BURG whose experience of a competitive handicap at Cheltenham before Christmas should stand him in good stead. Fifty Ball hasn't taken to fences but is interesting back hurdling off the same mark as when second to Soaring Eagle in a strong renewal of this last year. Jpr One and Jetoile are also on the shortlist.
