Verdict
BARCODE is given the vote to land this handicap with both Autumn Morning and Fleur de Lion worth noting. The selection caught the eye when finishing a close third of eleven behind Hold The Bucks last time out. He broke his maiden tag in a claimer at Bath during the summer and looks more than capable of winning off his current handicap mark so is worth staying on the right side of. Autumn Morning is in comparison unexposed and has hit form since landing a claimer over course and distance last month. He was not beaten far at Great Leighs last time out and has to be on the short list. Fleur de Lion ran well enough to finish mid division in a similar race last time out but more will be needed here, so for the winner we return to Barcode
