SCUDAMORE has been raised 10lb having won easily at Southwell on his return from a lengthy absence. He looks worth sticking with in a weak contest with leading amateur Serena Brotherton doing the steering. Man Of Verve posted a better effort when third at Newcastle though it’s been sometime since he won on Turf while Thorntoun Care returns to action having won under today’s regular rider in the past. The remainder arrive in woeful form with Bad Rabbit perhaps best of them.
