Verdict
AUTHINGER won on fast ground at Down Royal in May and has travelled over from Ireland with A P McCoy taking the ride. Providing the rain stays away, he should be too good for his two rivals here. Vinnie The Fish makes his chasing bow having lost his way over hurdles so Fairyinthewind should be the one to chase home the selection. She was pulled up in a handicap at Newton Abbot last time but had scored here the time before.
