All racecards for Tuesday 8th September
We said3rd of 11, beaten 1 at 5/1
KNICKS 5/1
KNICKS at 5/1, Michael & David Easterby and Joanna Mason, makes most appeal. He has already run to within touching distance off this sort of figure, beaten 0.25L off 62 on 8 June and was staying on at the finish last time.
The one worry is long time without a win.
The dangers are ACT OF VIOLENCE at 11/4 (went close off this mark) and STANIEL CAY at 13/2 (staying on last time).
