In depth

Verdict

The three-year-old Able Baker Charlie, could well prove to be too good for the older horses. From a yard in fine form he left the inpression at Sandown, that he didn't quite get up the hill and this easier track looks sure to suit. Autumn Rain, the winner of an amateur riders event, could prove to be his main danger. The Handicapper looks to have hold of Altay, while the evergreen Weet-A-Minute, may find this a bit too competitive.
