All racecards for Thursday 22nd October
We said7th of 10, beaten 6½ at 16/1
IMOLA 11/1
IMOLA at 11/1, Joey Ramsden with Alex Jary taking off 3lb, is the one I would side with. He knows how to win round here and was staying on at the finish last time.
The one worry is run style against this track.
The dangers are ALTERITY at 25/1 (well handicapped) and FILLY EILISH at 9/2 (a course winner).
