FormscanBy Alan Magee - BROOMFIELD BIJOU has gained all three wins at around this distance including when switched to fences at Wexford this summer. The Philip Dempsey-trained mare again showed promise when runner-up to Jasko Des Dames at Punchestown and probably found 2m4f too far at Fairyhouse last time. Last year’s winner The Folkes Tiara had The King Of Prs and Railway Hurricane close behind when scoring over this trip at Fairyhouse last time and there shouldn’t be much to choose between the trio again, while Final Orders and Grange Walk are also both past winners of this corresponding race but need to step up on recent efforts.
