All racecards for Wednesday 9th September
We said5th of 18, beaten 2¼ at 20/1
COMFORT LINE 16/1
COMFORT LINE at 16/1, Adrian McGuinness with Cillian Rowan taking off 10lb, is the bet, and this is the profile the whole thing is built around. He races off a mark 6lb below the 72 it won from back in March 2025 and was not given a hard time of it last time.
The dangers are ELUSIVE DUKE at 10/1 (went close off this mark) and BLUES EMPEROR at 33/1 (well handicapped).
