All racecards for Thursday 3rd September
We saidPU at 33/1
LAURIE BLUE 28/1
LAURIE BLUE at 28/1, E D Delany and Jordan Gainford, is the one that stands out. He races off a mark 5lb below the 97 it won from back in August 2025, handles the ground, with a win from 5 on it and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.
The dangers are SHIRZAN at 6/1 and TIR OG at 10/1 (on a falling mark).
