All racecards for Saturday 12th September
We said3rd of 8, beaten 2 at 11/1
QIRAT 13/2
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
QIRAT at 13/2, Ralph Beckett and Silvestre De Sousa, looks the one to be on. He went close off this sort of rating, beaten 2.5L off 115 (2lb higher than today) on 23 August 2025, handles the ground, with 3 wins from 6 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are MORE THUNDER at 5/4 (went close off this mark) and WITNESS STAND at 20/1 (went close off this mark).
