Serena Brotherton has ridden the winner of two of the last three renewals including the Brian Baugh-trained Consistant last year. They team-up again with MASTER OF DISGUISE in this and the latter gets the nod having tumbled down the weights in 2014. Kodafine scored over 5f at Lingfield last week and stays this longer trip while Lazy Sioux is usually thereabouts but has yet to win in 18 attempts so far. Waterloo Dock and Steel City Boy were both placed on their latest starts and are others to consider.
