All racecards for Friday 25th September
We said8th of 13, beaten 21 at 10/1
ENNISKERRY 9/1
ENNISKERRY at 9/1, Barry Connell and Mr Finian Maguire, is the standout, and this is exactly the sort of race to find one. He has had 3 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 14f today where he wins and his mark is 9lb lower for it and has a course win to his name.
The one worry is long absence.
DAVY CROCKETT 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 DELTA at 7/2 (went close off this mark) and EBONY KING at 14/1.
