All racecards for Saturday 12th September
We said4th of 10, beaten 3¼ at 3/1
IBELIEVEICANFLY 3/1
IBELIEVEICANFLY at 3/1, A P O'Brien and Ryan Moore, looks the one to be on. He should be suited by the ground, placed once from 2 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
APOLLO'S COMET rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
The dangers are LADY PATRONA at 50/1 (went close off this mark) and SNOWING at 66/1 (staying on last time).
