Verdict
Autumn Flight showed good speed down the centre of the track at Thirsk four days ago when 2lb higher and the softer ground here is probably in his favour. Conga should be approaching peak fitness after a couple of runs but the going is an unknown for Newmarket scorer Turn To Rock while Fortamour and Alix James seem best over 7f. EDGEWOOD was a beaten favourite behind shock winner Zig Zag Zyggy here 12 days ago but enjoys a 3lb turnaround in the weights and that may be enough for a form reversal. Dark Defender has each-way claims along with the consistent Queen Of Kalahari and
