We said7th of 10, beaten 8¾ at 13/2
GREEN TITAN 5/1
GERRY'S DARLING is the only confirmed front-runner, and he is not our selection, though an uncontested lead counts for less here than it does elsewhere.
GREEN TITAN at 5/1, George Boughey and Pat Cosgrave, is the one I would side with. He went close off this sort of rating, beaten 1L off 69 on 17 August and wears headgear for the first time.
The one worry is weakened last time.
GERRY'S DARLING rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 5 starts — and today is heavy.
