        Verdict

        Serena Brotherton has been in top form in amateurs events but she'll need all her powers of persuasion to return Epsom Salts to the form that saw him win three races on the course during 2009. Shesha Bear has questions to answer after disappointing when favourite for a similar event this month so it could be worth taking her on with BROUHAHA. Tom Dascombe's eight-year-old hasn't won for a while though his recent effort at Yarmouth represented a step in the right direction. The Ducking Stool and Rub Of The Relic have been winning at lesser levels, but a market check is advised about Encircled. She hasn't been seen since landing a Kempton handicap in February 2011 but Katie Margarson's 5lb claim could come in handy.
