Hard to look past AUTUMN RETURN in this and she really should be following up here. She justified strong support to get her head back in front at Musselburgh when last seen in November and back down to 2 miles will be hitting the line hard under Brian Hughes. She has been progressing well of late winning 2 of her last 3 so a further 4lb rise doesn't look enough to anchor her. She loves this C&D having won over it impressively as a 5yo and is the most likely winner. Shelikesthelights still has potential and is the danger.

This looks a straight shootout between the top pair in the betting and I'm keen to side with the improving ENOLA GREY for Gemma Tutty. This Havana Grey filly has really got her act together recently and she stepped forward again to beat a good yardstick in Inverlochy at Newcastle last month. She won going away clocking some eye-catching sectionals so a 5lb rise won't be enough to stop her completing the hat-trick. Storymaker impressed winning over 7f here at the weekend and will be the danger.
