We said2nd of 13, beaten 4¾ at 13/2
BOWGATE STREET 9/2
BOWGATE STREET at 9/2, M Flannery and Philip Donovan, is the one I would be with. He is a twice-winner over this course, gets a trip he has won over and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.
The dangers are FINNIANS ROW at 6/1 and HIGH HONOUR at 18/1 (a course winner).
