All racecards for Saturday 5th September
We said3rd of 21, beaten 6 at 9/1
NIBRAS RAINBOW 13/2
NIBRAS RAINBOW at 13/2, Paul W Flynn and Leigh Roche, is the one I would side with. He was only just denied off a similar mark, beaten 2L off 56 on 16 August, should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 6 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are ONYEISI at 28/1 (well handicapped) and CONNOVA at 9/2 (went close off this mark).
