All racecards for Tuesday 8th September
We said5th of 10, beaten 3½ at 10/1
FORTUNATE 12/1
FORTUNATE at 12/1, Eve Johnson Houghton with Oliver Carmichael taking off 7lb, is the one I would side with. He has had 2 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 7f today where he wins and his mark is 3lb lower for it, drops in grade after running won in a Class 4, drops to Class 6 and won last time out.
One to be careful with: none of these has won or been placed on this ground.
