All racecards for Friday 4th September
We said3rd of 8, beaten ¾ at 7/4F
AALTO 11/4
AALTO at 11/4, Ian Williams and James Doyle, is the one I would side with. He drops in grade after running 3rd in a Class 2, beaten 1.5L, drops to Class 3, handles the ground, with a win from 7 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are MALACHY'S WISH at 6/1 (staying on last time) and SUSPICIOUS MINDZ at 15/2 (went close off this mark).
