Serena Brotherton has won on CITY GROUND four times now including a victory over track and trip. Her mount should be sharper having returned from a short lay-off at Goodwood last month. Scrutiny has claims on his recent form including a second over course and distance when ahead of The Blue Banana while Engai ran well under today's amateur at Newbury last week. Shirocco Passion finished runner-up in one of these events on her penultimate start and Attain has won for an amateur before.
