Via Serendipity^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 90| D

10/3

Strong in the betting when making a successful stable debut at Ascot in August. Disappointing down at 7f back at that venue 11 days ago but this is a drop in class.

Form: 005010

Global Hero⁶⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Bentley| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 88| D

7/2

Cemented very good start to his career when landing 11-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in October 2018. In top hands, but subsequent absence has to be a big cause for concern.

Form: 121/

Huboor²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 90

16/1

Last of 4 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, soft, 6/1) 20 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 1-56324

(6)

Nicklaus^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 86| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2018. 6/1, below form sixth of 10 in minor event at Ascot (8f, good) 12 days ago. Needs to cast that effort aside with tongue tie back on.

Form: 3-02356

(8)

King Ragnar^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 90

9/2

Latest win at Leicester in July. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, heavy, 16/5) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but he looks summed up by current mark.

Form: 1-32133

(2)

Repaupo^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: L McJannet| OR: 82| D

80/1

Latest win at Newmarket in June. 22/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good) 25 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Gosden.

Form: 22/1770

Strawberry Jack^b,t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: George Scott| OR: 82| C| D

22/1

Course winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 25 days ago. Drop back in trip probably a good move.

Form: 139348

Glen Force^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 84| BF| D

7/2

Winner at Thirsk in July. Good third of 11 in handicap (16/5) at Chelmsford City (8f) 6 days ago. Same mark here and he enters calculations.

Form: 3-32213

Forecasts

Via Serendipity (10/3), Glen Force (7/2), Global Hero (7/2), King Ragnar (9/2), Nicklaus (7/1), Huboor (16/1), Strawberry Jack (22/1), Repaupo (80/1)

Having landed a gamble on debut for Charlie Fellowes last month, VIA SERENDIPITY was disappointing over 7f 11 days ago, but this is an easier handicap and there remains scope in his current mark. Glen Force ought to be competitive again, while it will be interesting to see which way Global Hero goes in the market on his return from the best part of 2 years off.
