Verdict
Leading amateur Serena Brotherton has ridden six of the last 10 winners and has every chance once again partnering OUTOFTHEQUESTION. The latter bids for a hat-trick of course wins and is preferred to the other recent winners Perla Blanca and Tapis Libre. The former won one of these events under today’s rider at Doncaster while Joanna Mason steered the latter to victory at Epsom. Becky Smith and Luv U Whatever beat the re-opposing Loving Your Work over track and trip last month while Dell' Arca returns to the Flat having won over hurdles recently.
