All racecards for Friday 4th September
We saidPU at 20/1
RULE SEVENTEEN 33/1
RULE SEVENTEEN at 33/1, Simon Cavanagh with Kevin Healy taking off 7lb, is the one I make it. He wears headgear for the first time, was placed on its only start on this ground and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 4% rider to 10%.
The one worry is long absence.
The main danger is DAWN COMING at 11/4 (staying on last time).
