All racecards for Friday 4th September
We said8th of 9, beaten 31¼ at 11/2
EYE OF A TIGER 14/1
EYE OF A TIGER at 14/1, John Patrick Ryan and J J Slevin, is the bet, and this is the profile the whole thing is built around. He races off a mark 5lb below the 110 it won from back in August 2025 and has a course win to his name.
The one worry is yard out of form.
The dangers are HOPES ARE HIGH at 9/2 and SPLASHING OUT at 4/1.
