All racecards for Tuesday 3rd November
We said3rd of 3, beaten 5¾ at 5/2
BAHTIYAR 9/4
BAHTIYAR at 9/4, Max Young with Murray Dodd taking off 5lb, looks the pick of these. He has already run to within touching distance off this sort of figure, beaten 0.5L off 77 on 17 October, should be suited by the ground, placed 7 times from 12 on it and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 5% rider to 11%.
The one worry is has never won.
The dangers are I LOVE YOU SIVOLA at 10/11 (back quickly) and THE MAGUS at 7/2 (went close off this mark).
