All racecards for Tuesday 1st September
We said4th of 11, beaten 2¼ at 14/1
EXPRESS TRAIN 9/1
EXPRESS TRAIN at 9/1, Richard Phillips and Robert Havlin, is the one I keep coming back to. He should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 8 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are CHASING GOLD at 4/1 (went close off this mark) and FOREVER MY PRINCE at 9/2 (well handicapped).
