Orobas finished last here on Saturday but Simon Walker takes over the reins and Lucinda Egerton’s gelding does have some ability. However, Serena Brotherton rode the winner of this last year and looks to have an excellent chance of following up on Mick Appleby’s DON’T DO IT. Twice a winner at Chelmsford this year, he’s a consistent sort who should run his race again. Attain usually runs well here but isn’t getting any younger and Baasha is probably more interesting given he didn’t really take to Tapeta last time.
