Autumn Evening¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Nathan Crosse⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 76| D

11/2

Forecasts

Peregrine Run (3/1), Isotope (7/2), Lynwood Gold (4/1), Sevenna Star (9/2), Top Line Tommy (9/2), Autumn Evening (11/2), Politicise (6/1), Auckland (13/2), Ashqar (8/1), Groveman (16/1), Imperial Choice (16/1)

Plenty in with chances but this can go to Jessica Harrington's AUTUMN EVENING, who proved a let-down when last seen over timber back in February but should be able to make his presence felt from this sort of mark provided he's ready to roll on reappearance. Lynwood Gold could provide the main threat if breaking on terms, with Top Line Tommy and Peregrine Run completing the shortlist.
