We said5th of 7, beaten 4 at 100/30J
FERN CLYDE 9/2
FERN CLYDE at 9/2, Tim Easterby and David Allan, just about gets the nod. He has already run to within touching distance off this sort of figure, beaten 3L off 69 on 12 September and is back quickly, ran 3 days ago.
The one worry is wrong side of the draw.
The dangers are LADY DUBLIN at 9/2 (went close off this mark) and ROMAN CRYSTAL at 12/1 (won with plenty in hand).
