All racecards for Friday 25th September
We said4th of 5, beaten 16¾ at 9/4F
ASIA FORCE 13/8
ASIA FORCE at 13/8, K. R. Burke and Sam James, looks the most likely of these. He has already won around this track and drops in grade after running won in a Class 2, drops to Class 3.
He arrives on the back of two straight wins. The 11lb rise is the obvious worry, though he has been beating that sort of raise all summer.
One to be careful with: none of these has won or been placed on this ground.
