Verdict
Maiden winners at Wolverhampton, both Clever Miss and Pyjama Day are dropped in class having shown little in handicaps so far. Ajig finished last at Kempton having won her maiden before that while Autopilot will find this tougher than the seller he won at Leicester last time. Sullivan Street finished ahead of Sellingallthetime when third at this track and Avocadeau may figure, but AFTER THE GOLDRUSH could come out best of the handicap debutants after a fifth at Warwick in August and gets the nod.
