I have heard it said recently that
Broome is too slow to win the Derby. If you can run a Timeform Speed figure of 120 over a distance of ten furlongs in a trial then, believe me, you are not slow.
He also promises to be even better over 12 furlongs and I can see him storming home down the middle of the track at Epsom and surging to victory for Aidan O Brien.
He is 4-1 at the moment but, if he is the mount of Ryan Moore, he could go off a fair bit shorter on the day.
Keith Dalgleish has his horses in cracking form and he can record another winner here with
Maulesden May.
This horse won at Ayr last time out and did so in good style. He is a bit pace dependant as he is a hold-up performer but, with plenty of pace on, he can carry a 5lb penalty to victory.
This horse seemed to really get his act together last time out at Doncaster.
He has previously not seemed to settle in his races, but he did nothing wrong last time out and can continue his progression here.
As a three-year-old with potential, he can now maintain his progression in a race that, although is competitive, looks winnable for this kind of progressive individual.
This horse is well treated in my opinion and can make all the running under Silvestre De Sousa.
I was impressed with how he won at Chelmsford in March and he was a very good third at Newmarket in a fast time last time out.
He figures to be able to lead here at a track where front running is an asset.
This horse was a winner last time out for Ed Dunlop and has now joined William Haggas.
She turns up here seeking a hat-trick under young Ceiran Fallon and, despite a fairly lengthy lay-off, she can dominate this field off top weight.
I do not think her new mark of 75 is prohibitive and she figures to improve for her new yard here.
