All racecards for Wednesday 23rd September
We said6th of 12, beaten 6¾ at 11/1
SANDRET 12/1
SANDRET at 12/1, Sam England with Liam Baxter taking off 3lb, makes most appeal. He races off a mark 3lb below the 63 it won from back in August 2025, is a twice-winner over this course and comes from a yard in good heart at 29%.
The risk is KING OF WAR, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 2.8 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.
The one worry is weakened last time.
The dangers are SOUL WARRIOR at 9/1 (a course winner) and NIGHT EMPEROR at 10/3 (a course winner).
