All racecards for Tuesday 8th September
We said7th of 9, beaten 6 at 6/1
WEN MOON 4/1
WEN MOON at 4/1, Ben Haslam and Aiden Brookes, is the one I keep coming back to. He was only just denied off a similar mark, beaten 1.25L off 70 on 18 May, was staying on at the finish last time and has the right side of the draw.
The one worry is run style against this track.
The dangers are OUR ABSENT FRIENDS at 4/1 (a course winner) and HANNEY GIRL at 13/2 (went close off this mark).
Non-runners: Without Flaw.
