Verdict
Autretot has been thereabouts over a mile since joining David O’Meara in the summer while Najashee also steps up in distance having yet to threaten in a handicap. Quoteline Direct landed a course and distance double in July but remains 8lb higher and First Dance has been well beaten since winning an amateurs’ race here last month. Victory Chime has a shout back on a faster surface today but MULLIGATAWNY (NAP) took advantage of a slide down the weights when making all at Ripon last time and can go in again given he remains on a winning mark despite a 5lb rise.
