Forecasts

Autumn Flight (13/8), Global Prospector (2/1), Canford Bay (7/2), The Nosey Parker (6/1), Doc Sportello (7/1), Jumira Bridge (8/1)

AUTUMN FLIGHT posted a career-best effort when successful on return/yard debut over C&D 7 days ago and a repeat under a penalty now should see him firmly in the mix once more. Canford Bay and Global Prospector are the chief threats.
