Verdict

LODI looks good enough to land the finale while both Autumn Blades and Sweet Gale are others to consider. The selection has never been the easiest to win with but has been running well of late. He caught the eye after finishing second to Arteus at Folkestone last time out and if he can recapture that form he is sure to be in the shake-up once again. Autumn Blades runs off the same mark as he did while winning at Brighton last time out. His jockey David Probert is still in contention for the apprentice jockey championship so he is guaranteed to get every assistance form the saddle. Sweet Gale won off a mark of 65 back in June but has been winless ever since. She has however slipped down the ratings as a consequence and has to be respected off her current mark.
