Myklachi missed an intended engagement at Musselburgh on Wednesday (ground) and switches to the Tapeta at Newcastle instead. He's fairly solid overall, but does need to prove his stamina over this trip. Tabou Beach Boy should be winning races sooner or later for Oliver Greenall, and he is of interest in a first-time hood (was actually declared to wear first-time blinkers at Beverley earlier this month; non runner). However, we'll adopt the cautious approach and side with the Sir Mark Prescott-trained AUTONOMY. Like plenty of his stablemates (past and present) he looks nigh guaranteed to take a step forward now sent handicapping over a longer trip.
