2/1
Plenty of promise as a juvenile and stepped up on those displays with back-to-back victories at Newcastle earlier this year. Has gone up 6lb, but should remain competitive with AW surfaces clearly suitable.

Followed up his handicap debut win at Kempton with a C&D victory last month. Has gone up 7lb for that latter success which gives him plenty to do against some decent opposition.

Landed a 7f handicap at this track last month and supplemented that success over 1m at Newcastle a week ago. Competes under a 6lb penalty and should give it her best shot.

Off the mark at the third attempt when successful over 7f at Kempton in October. First run in a handicap for shrewd trainer and should be fit enough to do herself justice on seasonal reappearance.

7/1
Best of three runs as a juvenile came at Wolverhampton on final start. Has been gelded during the winter, makes his handicap debut and is worth noting for any support. Top stable yet to strike form.

Forecasts

Luna Eclipse (7/4), Ode To Autumn (2/1), Cavatina (5/1), Comrade In Arms (7/1), Image (8/1)

Verdict

Ode To Autumn looks sure to make a bold bid off top weight and it is only marginally that CAVATINA is preferred. She is unexposed and has already shown a fair degree of ability for her leading stable. Luna Eclipse and Image are in good heart, but the handicapper has had his say with both. Bottom-weight Comrades In Arms has possibilities, but hails from a yard which has yet to find its stride this season.
  1. Cavatina
  2. Ode To Autumn
  3. Luna Eclipse
