All racecards for Saturday 26th September
We said12th of 14, beaten 9¼ at 28/1
IMOLA 16/1
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
IMOLA at 16/1, Joey Ramsden and Alex Jary, is the one I would be with. He knows how to win round here, handles the ground, with 3 wins from 25 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The one worry is weakened last time.
GLADIADORA rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 61 and runs off 65 — up 4lb.
The dangers are BEAUTY BY MY SIDE at 40/1 (well handicapped) and SPECIAL BREEZE at 10/1 (went close off this mark).
