All racecards for Monday 9th November
We said4th of 8, beaten 22 at 15/8F
SUNSHINE DIAMOND 13/8
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
SUNSHINE DIAMOND at 13/8, Neil Mulholland and Sean Bowen, is the one I want to be with. He comes from a yard in good heart at 26%, has been tried on this ground once in 9 starts, and was placed and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 12% rider to 19%.
He was second over fences at Worcester on this ground on his chasing debut last month, he is 2lb lower today for it, and Sean Bowen takes the ride.
The one worry is long time without a win.
The dangers are MAJOR FORTUNE at 10/3 (from a yard in form) and LOUNGE LIZARD at 66/1.
