All racecards for Friday 4th September
We said5th of 8, beaten 4½ at 7/2F
LUANSOBE 9/2
LUANSOBE at 9/2, Charlie Fellowes and Paddy Bradley, is the one I would side with. He was staying on at the finish last time, gets a trip he has won over and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.
The dangers are RAGING RAJ at 9/2 (won last time) and HAMBELTON at 7/2 (won last time).
Non-runners: King Of Thunder.
