All racecards for Wednesday 16th September
We said10th of 12, beaten 4½ at 5/1
DARK SIDE THUNDER 7/1
DARK SIDE THUNDER at 7/1, Jessica Macey and George Wood, is the bet, and this is the profile the whole thing is built around. He races off a mark 6lb below the 71 it won from back in May 2025, has already won around this track and was staying on at the finish last time.
The one worry is yard out of form.
The dangers are TYGER BAY at 18/1 (went close off this mark) and FLAG OF ST GEORGE at 13/2 (well handicapped).
