R ace Summary

An open-looking contest with several appealing types in the field, not least Kettle Hill, who has been in terrific form over the summer and deservedly got his head back in front at Sandown. The suggestion is IMRAHOR, though, as he ran a stormer on his first run in 279 days at Newbury last month. With Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle, the son of Kingman can claim the spoils for a second career success. Via Serendipity is interesting going back up in trip, while Pontefract winner Enigmatic could also have a say. Win: Imrahor Danger: Kettle Hill
