We said11th of 14, beaten 12¼ at 7/1
FAOLADH 7/1
FAOLADH is the only confirmed front-runner — and this is a track where that matters: front-runners here win 2.8 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive.
FAOLADH at 7/1, A. Slattery with Adam Browne-Souza taking off 7lb, is the one I make it. He races off a mark 3lb below the 68 it won from in August and is back quickly, ran 5 days ago.
The one worry is unproven on the ground.
The dangers are BATTLE BORNE at 28/1 (a course winner) and BOSTON BENJAMIN at 6/1 (a course winner).
