All racecards for Thursday 22nd October
We said3rd of 10, beaten 9¼ at 8/1
GRANGE WALK 14/1
GRANGE WALK at 14/1, John Patrick Ryan and Daniel King, is the one I want to be with. He was staying on at the finish last time, handles the ground, with a win from 6 on it and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.
The one worry is yard out of form.
WOODSTREAM LAD rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 99 and runs off 107 — up 8lb.
The dangers are BANJAXED at 16/1 and CEROC at 3/1 (from a yard in form).
