George Boughey had another big Saturday winner and the well-bred GRANT ME SERENITY could be good enough to secure this prize before a likely retirement to the paddocks. Ladypacksapunch is officially rated 70 and makes a belated seasonal reappearance this afternoon. Red Kite has been gelded since finishing second of three in a muddling affair at the track in April. Emperor Of War is closely related to a number of winners over similar trips and will be better for his debut at Kempton where he only weakened in the closing stages.
