All racecards for Sunday 25th October
We said5th of 5, beaten 16½ at 11/4
GAMBIE TIEP 5/2
GAMBIE TIEP at 5/2, Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen, is the one I would side with. He comes from a yard in good heart at 23%, handles the ground, with a win from 2 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The one worry is long absence and long time without a win.
The dangers are WALKINTHEWOODS at 22/1 (well handicapped) and MCGRATH FROM CLUNE at 28/1.
