Verdict
A few of these are in their twilight of their careers but 15-year-old Marked Man wasn't disgraced when third to Wake Board at Bangor last time and beat fellow veteran Keltic Lord here last July. Despite top weight, Autumn Red can figure while Run To Fly has hinted at ability, as has Another Puzzle. But the fitting of blinkers could see YOU CAN OF COURSE make amends for a below-par effort at Fontwell last time as he's certainly well handicapped on a string of solid performances in the autumn.
