Serena Brotherton is generally the first stop when looking for a winner in these races and was on board when Whitwell won a similar race at Ripon in June. Brodie Hampson gets plenty of winners in this sphere and rode One To Go when beaten a neck at Ayr in August while Amy Collier excelled on DAS KAPITAL when the latter scored over the trip on soft ground at Haydock. John Berry's charge is only up 2lb and can go in again. Mac Ailey won on soft at Hamilton last month and was up there for a long way in an apprentice's race at Nottingham last week.
