Verdict

Like most classified stakes races this looks pretty competitive with plenty of the eight runner field holding claims. Neville Callaghan's Autumn Rain seems to face a stiff task under the burden of 9st 12lb and more solid claims are held by last time out winner Gabor and recent Bath second Last Master, who lost little in feat behind Affray. Invitation is another to have run better than of late on his most recent outing and should not be dismissed lightly.
