        Verdict

        Serena Brotherton has picked up a fine ride on GERANIUM, who completed a double when scoring here in July then went up 4lb for finishing second at Sandown. Hughie Morrison's filly can take this though Becky Smith rides plenty of winners in this sphere and First Flight has won two of his last three, though in a seller and a claimer. Brodie Hampson was on board when Regal Director scored at Redcar and her mount may not have been suited by Tapeta at Wolverhampton. Aine O'Connor travels over from Ireland to ride the consistent Ginger Fox but her mount hasn't won for nearly a year and is 10lb higher. Long Call would have a chance on his Brighton victory though didn't run as well back there next time.
