All racecards for Wednesday 23rd September
We said5th of 12, beaten 9¼ at 18/1
BOLD LIGHT 11/1
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
BOLD LIGHT at 11/1, Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore with Gregor Walkingshaw taking off 10lb, is the bet, and this is the profile the whole thing is built around. He races off a mark 9lb below the 123 it won from back in March 2025, handles the ground, with a win from 4 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
SUMMERGROUNDS rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — 1 run on soft or heavy, never won, never placed — and today is soft.
The dangers are BEL AMIGO at 22/1 (well handicapped) and MICKS JET at 40/1.
