All racecards for Saturday 12th September
We said3rd of 9, beaten 2 at 4/6F
YAZOO 8/11
POETIC GRACE is the only confirmed front-runner, and he is not our selection, at a track where making the running is worth a little (front-runners win 2.0 times their share).
YAZOO at 8/11, Richard Spencer and George Wood, looks the one to be on. He won by 2 lengths and escapes a penalty, leaving 3lb in hand and comes from a yard in good heart at 27%.
The one worry is wrong side of the draw.
The dangers are HENFIELD at 14/1 (a course winner) and ERNIE MCCREW at 17/2 (went close off this mark).
