Plenty of in-form horses here in this amateur riders handicap and the tentative vote goes to Sporting Gesture ahead of Court Of Appeal and Love Brothers. The selection ran well in defeat last time out and now drops back to a more suitable trip. Serena Brotherton has a good record when riding for Mick Easterby and with the stable having regular success at present, the ten-year-old gelding can score. Court Of Appeal is another very consistent sort however he hasn't recorded a victory since moving away from sellers and claimers. Acuzio is still 6lbs above his highest winning mark, whilst Rudry World stays well so may appreciate a strong pace. Global Traffic and Love Brothers both won their latest outings but have more on the plate here, so whilst Collette's Choice has claims on a pick of her form, we will return to Sporting Gesture for the winner.
