Serena Brotherton is in a different league to most lady amateur riders and anything she rides in races like this is worthy of serious consideration. Strong Man won over this trip at Kempton and Musselburgh last year so should go close if fully wound-up but INTISAAB looks the one to beat having improved markedly on his first run for David O'Meara here by scoring over 6f at Ripon nine days ago. Jubilee Brig has been in good form on the all-weather but Mon Brav was beaten in a seller last time, though did finish ahead of the selection over track and trip earlier.
