Verdict

Autumn Red finally got off the mark over 2m5f here last time but looks worth taking on today off a 7lb higher mark and in better company. Not Sure Dick hasn't shown a great deal in two appearances in novice company and has plenty of weight on his handicap bow, while the potentially well-treated Antonius Caesar's last two outings suggest he may have fallen out of love with the game. Quazy De Joie's recent Lingfield second may not have amounted to much so we'll take a chance that the lightly-raced FINLAY will have learned enough from his fencing debut at Catterick to open his account now.
