All racecards for Wednesday 28th October
We said6th of 7, beaten 5¼ at 8/13F
PURE MINT 5/4
PURE MINT is the only confirmed front-runner — and this is a track where that matters: front-runners here win 2.8 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive.
PURE MINT at 5/4, Simon Crisford and Oisin Murphy, looks the most likely of these. He runs a style that suits this track, gets a trip he has won over and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 12% rider to 18%.
The dangers are ARTHUR CARROT at 15/2 (went close off this mark) and CONCILIATE at 18/1 (went close off this mark).
Non-runners: Sovereign Glory.
