All racecards for Saturday 26th September
We said8th of 27, beaten 2¾ at 16/1
ASMEN WARRIOR 28/1
ASMEN WARRIOR at 28/1, James Owen and Marco Ghiani, looks the most likely of these. He has a course win to his name, should be suited by the ground, placed 4 times from 5 on it and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.
The dangers are SHAFDAR at 22/1 (went close off this mark) and SPANISH VOICE at 18/1 (a course winner).
Non-runners: Pathein.
