We said7th of 8, beaten 12¼ at 16/1
UNDERDOG 50/1
UNDERDOG at 50/1, Richard Spencer and Saffie Osborne, looks the pick of these. He comes from a yard in good heart at 24%, gets a trip he has won over and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.
One to be careful with: none of these has won or been placed on this ground.
