Verdict
VIA SERENDIPITY faced higher-rated opposition than this in Listed company at Kempton last time having scored at the same track earlier. Stuart Williams’ charge is clear at the weights on these terms and should have the measure of the in-form Another Touch. The latter won a couple of handicaps at the end of last year, with Trevithick well beaten at Chelmsford on one occasion, while Raydiance arrives on the back of a win at Southwell and has a bit to spare at the weights with Home Before Dusk, who landed a couple of low grade handicap here in October.
