All racecards for Tuesday 8th September
We said8th of 11, beaten 11½ at 100/30
LOINGSEOIR 9/2
LOINGSEOIR at 9/2, M C Grassick and Colin Keane, makes most appeal. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 0L off 67 on 25 April 2025, handles the ground, with 3 wins from 21 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The one worry is run style against this track.
The dangers are MERISI DIAMOND at 3/1 (well handicapped) and RHYTHM KING at 15/2 (a course winner).
