All racecards for Thursday 15th October
We said2nd of 8, beaten 4¾ at 3/1
AR AIS ARIS 9/4
AR AIS ARIS at 9/4, Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore and Derek Fox, is the one I make it. He comes from a yard in good heart at 27% and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 5% rider to 11%.
The one worry is off the track a while.
EASTERN FIRE 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 main danger is FEARLESS DRAGON at 22/1.
