8/1

9/4

Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 4/1, run best excused when seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 26 days ago, finishing with running left after not clear run final 1f. Could well be in the mix.

3/1

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (4/1) 37 days ago, leading inside last ½f. Goes well at this track (3 course wins this year) so expected to be bang there.

Society Red³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 86| CD

22/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Ran one of this season's better races despite being left poorly placed when 3 lengths fifth of 12 to Civil Law in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 37 days ago. Others make more appeal in this.

Form: 540095

Ghasham⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: L Morris| T: Ian Williams| OR: 82

100/1

66/1, well held on first outing since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien after 3 months off in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 70 days ago, missing break. Makes all-weather debut and this outing should reveal more.

Form: 5-14638

Forecasts

Chichester (9/4), Greatgadian (5/2), Civil Law (3/1), Baldomero (6/1), Via Serendipity (8/1), Society Red (22/1), Ghasham (100/1)

Cases can be made for a few but VIA SERENDIPITY showed that loads of ability remains despite rising 9 when runner-up at Lingfield last month. He can go one better today at the expense of Civil Law, who landed his third success of the year at this track just over 5 weeks ago. Greatgadian and Baldomero are another couple well worth considering.
