Autumn Trail²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: Rae Guest| OR: 65| BF| D

16/5

Has hinted at promise this season and run best ignored when eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 28 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Handily weighted so worth considering.

Forecasts

Bezzas Lad (3/1), Autumn Trail (16/5), Katherine Place (7/2), Nibras Again (4/1), Secretfact (9/2), Our Oystercatcher (8/1), Charlemaine (10/1), Pull Harder Con (14/1), King Robert (16/1), Red Stripes (33/1)

BEZZAS LAD is hard to side against after his impressive all-the-way win at Nottingham which is proving strong form. Autumn Trail didn't get the rub of the green at Lingfield last time and is weighted to have a big say so rates the main threat, although C&D winner Katherine Place is another who should make her presence felt.
