All racecards for Sunday 27th September
We said8th of 11, beaten 18¾ at 9/1
TOURIN 12/1
TOURIN at 12/1, J A Stack and Gavin Ryan, is the one I would side with. He has the right side of the draw.
OTSANA rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 2 starts — and today is heavy.
