All racecards for Wednesday 9th September
We said6th of 11, beaten 6½ at 66/1
FARASI LANE 20/1
4 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
FARASI LANE at 20/1, Micky Hammond and Aiden Brookes, makes most appeal. He races off a mark 1lb below the 78 it won off, has the right side of the draw and comes from a yard in good heart at 20%.
The one worry is run style against this track.
LUCKY HERO rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won its last two off 75 and runs off 85 — up 10lb.
The dangers are FOX AVATAR at 5/1 (went close off this mark) and PERCY'S DAYDREAM at 18/1 (won with plenty in hand).
