Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 95| D

8/1

Held form well on AW during the winter, winning twice at around 2m. However, recent record on turf less encouraging, slowly away and never a threat at Newbury latest. Visor again fitted.

Form: 360000

Amazing Red²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 90| CD

6/1

Cashed in on a reduced mark when scoring on return over 1½m at Leicester in April. Remained in form since, regaining the winning thread over C&D 3 weeks ago. 2 lb higher mark gives him claims again.

Form: 5-14331

Autumn War^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 87| D

2/1

Made excellent start for current yard when landing back-to-back AW handicaps (14f) over the winter and good second of 7 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good) 3 weeks ago, clear of rest. Respected.

Form: 1-43852

Dancing Harry^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 80| D

1/1

Largely consistent this season prior to regaining winning thread at Sandown (14f) latest, getting first run on the second but holding on gamely. Reliable type and 2 lb rise should see him thereabouts.

Form: 034531

Forecasts

Dancing Harry (1/1), Autumn War (2/1), Amazing Red (6/1), Lucky Deal (8/1)

AUTUMN WAR has been shaping up well of late, left with too much to do when fifth in the Northumberland Vase and noted keeping on well for second over this trip at Haydock last time. He gets the nod to come out on top in refitted cheekpieces now partnered by William Buick. Recent C&D winner Amazing Red and Sandown scorer Dancing Harry can fight it out for the forecast.
