All racecards for Monday 14th September
We said3rd of 7, beaten 14 at 50/1
BLUE TOPAZ 33/1
BLUE TOPAZ at 33/1, Fergal O'Brien and Jack Hogan, is the one I would side with. He has a course win to his name, handles the ground, with a win from 3 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
YOU BE LUCKY JEAN rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won its last two, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
The dangers are MIGHTY DINK at 10/1 (from a yard in form) and TRALEE GIRL at 8/13 (from a yard in form).
