All racecards for Saturday 5th September
We saidWon at 9/1
STORM ESME 13/1
SEA HER EXCEL is the only confirmed front-runner, and he is not our selection — and this is a track where that matters: front-runners here win 2.2 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive, which is the risk to ours.
STORM ESME at 13/1, Tim Easterby and Sean Kirrane, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He races off a mark 14lb below the 75 it won from back in October 2025 and has won here.
The dangers are RILEY ROCKS at 9/2 (a course winner) and GREAT PROFIT at 16/5 (won last time).
