All racecards for Wednesday 23rd September
We said5th of 6, beaten 34¾ at 16/1
EMILY LOVE 6/1
EMILY LOVE at 6/1, Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy, looks the one to be on. He should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 2 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
LA NOTE VERTE rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
The dangers are LADY BLUEBIRD at 5/1 and MISSUS BEETON at 40/1.
