Good evening.

Step forward Autumn Blades who could run a lot better than his price suggests. Two recent runs over 8f for this 7f specialist should have him match fit and he wore cheekpieces combined with a 7lb claimer on his last run. You don't have to go to far back to see him beating Surour and Brae Hill on g/s at this level at Chester last year off a mark of 95 and then proving that was no fluke when running 3rd after that to Brae Hill and Dance And Dance again at Chester off 99.
Form on turf tailed off after that at Group level at Haydock and then at Sandown a course which would not suit. Obviously better known as an all weather horse but his 7f form on easy and turning courses on turf reads roughly 41113 with wins at Folkestone, Brighton and Chester.
he's probably better going left handed but has also managed to win twice round Kempton at the trip and feel he is the best handicapped runner in the field. Stall 20 may be seen as a negative by most but I feel it won't make any difference because wherever he is drawn he is usually always slowly away so stall position is not really relevant to his running style. At 66/1 I feel he is well worth a go as there's plenty of pace in the race and if he's in the mood 66/1 is a ridiculous price.

Second up is Brave Prospector now with Richard Fahey who ran a race full of promise on his first start at Hamilton only to run down the field in the Stewards Cup. That run is well worth forgiving and he's down to a mark of 97 which has seen him win two class 2 races at 6 & 6.5f. They were on good and g/f but he has some very smart form with cut in the ground back in the day including a very good 7th here in the Stewards Cup.Now 6 this slightly longer trip may well be the answer. Drawn 3 he should be able to sit behind the likely strong pace to his inside and if getting the breaks could also run a big race at big odds.

AUTUMN BLADES 1 POINT E/W AT 66/1 (BOG)

BRAVE PROSPECTOR 1 POINT E/W AT 20/1 (BOG)
