Autun should be winning again soon and Wadi Al Hattawi ran green and was then hampered when just beaten here on his handicap debut. He's fitted with a visor to help him concentrate this afternoon and must be respected but we'll give another chance to DUKE OF PERTH after he found Venue too strong on his first try over this trip at Haydock. Interior Minister, Federal Blue and Emerging all have the ability to figure as well and can't be ignored in an open contest.
