All racecards for Saturday 19th September
We said2nd of 6, beaten 2¼ at 7/2
ICE MAX 3/1
ICE MAX at 3/1, K. R. Burke and Sam James, is the one I make it. He races off a mark 1lb below the 111 it won off and comes from a yard in good heart at 23%.
EL BURHAN rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 12 starts — and today is heavy.
The dangers are GREY CUBAN at 9/1 (went close off this mark) and SEA SCOUT at 6/1 (went close off this mark).
