All racecards for Tuesday 27th October
We said8th of 13, beaten 23¼ at 28/1
FINN LOUGH 18/1
FINN LOUGH at 18/1, Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero and Charlie Todd, gets the vote, and it is the kind of race we wait for. He has had 2 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 24f today where he wins and his mark is 5lb lower for it, has been tried on this ground once in 21 starts, and was placed and gets a trip he has won over.
The one worry is long absence.
The dangers are LIEGE ARDENT at 7/1 and ON THE PLATFORM at 33/1 (a course winner).
Each-way is the way in at 18/1, 3 places at 1/4.
