Verdict
AUTUMN FLIGHT missed out on a hat-trick by only a head back on Turf at Doncaster. Bob Cowell’s charge still finished in front of Global Prospector on that occasion and his earlier double had come over track and trip. Scale Force beat Jack The Truth at Wolverhampton before going close at Southwell and has yet to race on the Polytrack but the latter won here in February.
