All racecards for Thursday 10th September
We said6th of 10, beaten 3¼ at 4/1
ARBAAWY 8/1
ARBAAWY at 8/1, John Butler with Conor Whiteley taking off 5lb, is the one I make it. He drops in grade after running 3rd in a Class 4, beaten 6.75L, drops to Class 5 and should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 2 on it.
The one worry is has never won.
MAYAADA rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — 1 run on soft or heavy, never won, never placed — and today is soft.
