      Verdict

      Autocratic won a handicap here in October and improved to beat today's rival Algometer, who was conceding 3lb, by just over a length in a Sandown Group 3. He should confirm the form but may find Irish raider SUCCESS DAYS too good. Ken Condon's grey is a regular winner at this level and only just failed to concede Johannes Vermeer 3lb at the Curragh earlier this month. Hathal is a smart performer who reappeared after a long break to finish an excellent third in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot. This will be his first start at the trip but would be an obvious threat if staying the distance.
