Verdict

A competitive finale even though it’s restricted to female amateur riders. Regular Income goes well here and placed in this last year when 5lb higher. He finished ahead of Born To Please that day but was behind Dance King. Serena Brotherton partners SANDYMAN, who was second over track and trip three weeks ago and is back on a winning mark. He’s just preferred to Menin Gate, who has also had a light campaign, and the three-year-olds Meadow Sprite and Maxine. Sunset Memory wasn’t far behind the latter at Doncaster and Wholelotafun has found some form at Bath lately, though on quicker surfaces.
