Autumn Pride²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

4/1

Teofilo half-brother to six winners including stablemates Rah Rah (5f) and Poets Society (5f-1m). Fair debut effort when third of eight over 1m2f at Newcastle and is likely to improve with that experience under his belt.

Form: 3

(5)

Flat Stone

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

33/1

Champs Elysees colt out of a Halling mare who has produced two winners, including one over this distance. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree and is likely to need this debut run.

Form:

Thelonious²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: M L W Bell

10/1

Son of Sea The Moon who was bought for 80,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to a number of winners including the useful Strictly Silver. Promise when third of five to a long odds-on shot over 1m2f at this venue and should do better.

Form: 3

Thinque Tank

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: C E Longsdon

66/1

Gelded son of So You Think who is a half-brother to a 5f winner. Only limited appeal on paper for predominantly jumping stable and is best watched on debut.

Form:

Travel On¹⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 85| BF

1/4

Promising as a juvenile and final run when a neck second of 11 over 1m2f at Newmarket confirmed he was progressive. Already useful and looks the one to beat on his seasonal reappearance and first run on the AW.

Form: 842-

Forecasts

Travel On (1/4), Autumn Pride (4/1), Thelonious (10/1), Flat Stone (33/1), Thinque Tank (66/1)

Flat Stone and Thinque Tank are best watched on debut and Autumn Pride needs to take a step forward on his first run at Newcastle. Thelonious shaped with a good deal of promise on debut at this track and looks sure to improve, but the one to beat is TRAVEL ON, who improved as a juvenile and boasts a level of form superior to that of his rivals.
