      Verdict

      It's Unbelievable, Sharplaw Autumn and Nelson's Column are the three that catch the eye here and It's Unbelievable can come out on top. Nelson's Column was a half length second to It's Unbelievable at Ripon and on two pounds better terms will be fancied by some to reverse the form. Raised in class at Leicester last time he finished a respectable fourth and although respected looks a little one paced. Top weight Sharplaw Autumn finished ahead of Nelson's Column at Leicester, beaten only by the classy Days of My Life. A course and distance winner, she looks sure to go close, but top weight may just anchor her. It's Unbelievable shaped well on his only start as a two year old and won well on his seasonal re-appearance last month. The handicapper appears to have been quite lenient, and in the belief that there is further improvement forthcoming, It's Unbelievable can amaze his followers and take this.
