midfield, dropped to rear after 2nd, reminders after 3rd, soon raced in last and detached, pulled up before 6th, never going well |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Caused a 200-1 surprise when landing a novice at Exeter (2m2f, heavy) in February but he stopped quickly and was pulled up at Bangor next time; still unexposed but has bit to prove again on this handicap debut and drying ground would be an unknown factor. |

28th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
First two starts saw him beat a total of one rival; 200-1, therefore, for a novice hurdle at Exeter (2m2f, heavy) 17 days ago but he made most to win that eight-runner race, rallying to see off the 4-9 favourite; wandered at plenty of his hurdles that day and looks the type to improve but the penalty may be his undoing today. |

11st 12lb |
Left the O'Neills for £23,000 and made a winning start for this yard at Market Rasen in first-time blinkers (2m4f, good); didn't have a lot in hand but only raised 3lb. |

Surged in the weights for wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) and Southwell (2m4f, good) last autumn; below par on his last two starts for the O'Neills but he's since joined a bang-in-form stable (for £23,000) and has to be of interest in first-time blinkers after a break. |

Went up 19lb for wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) and Southwell (2m4f, good) last year; beaten at odds-on next time but subsequently fair third on chase debut; back over hurdles after pulling up last time; others look better handicapped. |

Always behind when switched to fences and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut at Exeter (2m1f, good) last month; not bred to benefit from today's hike up in trip and clearly needs to take a big step forward but he represents a respected stable and remains very unexposed. |

Hasn't shown much in a bumper and three hurdles at up to 2m5f; cheekpieces now added to tongue-tie for chase debut; in good hands and on a workable mark but need to see more from him. |

Point/hurdle winner; pulled up on chasing debut in February but, with today's headgear combination fitted, fared much better on final two starts last season (3m1f/3m) and made the frame; may still have potential. |

Beaten a neck by Fantomas when second of 16 on handicap debut at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in March; flopped when co-favourite off this 5lb higher mark at Stratford three weeks ago, when jockey reported that he hung right-handed, so reverting to this right-handed track may help. |

11st 8lb |
Low-mileage maiden who's been second or third in handicaps on all three chase outings, absent 590 days after first of those; rallied strongly when third of seven at Leicester (2m7f, soft) one month ago, which suggests that this step back up in trip is very much in order; one to consider. |

Displayed huge improvement to finish first in Chepstow maiden (2m3f, heavy) in January, only to be demoted to second for causing interference; gained compensation in match race here (2m5f, heavy) the following month and might have more to offer in handicaps this term. |

Three runs at Chepstow look easily the best of his seven appearances over hurdles, the most recent when fifth of 17 in handicap (2m3f, good to soft; acts on heavy) in November; his dam had stamina but this 6yo was pulled up on both his attempts at this sort of trip, including latest outing. |

Verdict
Broughshane was prominent for a long way before weakening into third over C&D three weeks ago and has plenty of scope to build on that performance but Irish point winner HOUSE OF STORIES gets the nod. Rebecca Curtis’ 8yo could not lay a glove on subsequent Challow Hurdle third The Jukebox Man when second on last month’s rules debut at Ffos Las but that was still a very pleasing performance and he did not have a hard race.[Chris Wilson]
