Broomfield can sweep up Winter opponents

Sandown hosts the Ballymore Winter Novices’ Hurdle on Friday and BROOMFIELD BURG might be the one to be on for Nicky Henderson.

Henderson has his string in decent form and Broomfield Burg shaped with a heap of promise when second at Newbury recently. He raced freely then and might be a different proposition with an outing under his belt.

Henderson also has FABLE entered at Sandown in the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle and she is definitely of interest.

There ought to be more in her locker after just three starts and she is versatile with regards to ground.

Deep ground at Sandown on Friday might help TALLOW FOR COAL in the Sargent Fifty Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap Chase, while CALIDAD is worth another chance in Tuesday’s Evanis A Legend, Wiguagain Duck Maiden Hurdle at Southwell. The latter produced a careerbest last time out.
