All racecards for Saturday 5th September
We said5th of 6, beaten 7¾ at 18/1
PASSING THOUGHT 17/2
PASSING THOUGHT at 17/2, Ed Walker with Ashley Lewis taking off 3lb, just about gets the nod. He handles the ground, with a win from 2 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
OOLONG POOBONG rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 10 starts — and today is soft.
The main danger is FIGJAM at 10/1 (went close off this mark).
