All racecards for Thursday 3rd September
We said2nd of 9, beaten 2 at 11/1
MAO SHANG WONG 9/1
MAO SHANG WONG at 9/1, David O'Meara and Mark Winn, is the one I would be with. He has already won around this track, handles the ground, with a win from 10 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The one worry is run style against this track.
The dangers are MWAFAQ at 4/1 (went close off this mark) and JUNKYARD DOG at 4/1 (won last time).
