All racecards for Wednesday 4th November
We said4th of 14, beaten 6½ at 14/1
DOUBLE TEN 16/1
DOUBLE TEN at 16/1, Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls and Tom Bellamy, is the one I would side with. He wears headgear for the first time and comes from a yard in good heart at 25%.
The one worry is long absence.
RED ACRES MAX rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
Non-runners: Secret Jet Away.
Each-way is the way in at 16/1, 3 places at 1/5.
