A lady riders handicap to end the card and it appears to be wide open. We have just come down on the side of Ours, Gala Sunday and Gallego could be the main rivals. The selection comes here in winning form having beaten Royal Envoy on the all-weather at Kempton. His previous turf outing was also a decent effort and another big run is expected this afternoon. Serena Brotherton rode Gala Sunday to victory last time out at Redcar and she could go close in the follow up bid today. Meanwhile Gallego can be forgiven his recent effort at Newbury as that was over twelve furlongs on soft ground. He is better judged on his previous victory at Bath over this trip. Zelos and Singleb are two others running well at present and neither can be easily ruled out. So this is not a race to put too much of the hard earned down and Ours is just a tentative choice
