    Verdict

    This looks to be a straight match-up between Autograph Hunter and Alittlebitleft and we will side with the last mentioned. The selection is on the upgrade on the evidence of his recent success at Wolverhampton when he beat Situla. We expect him to improve again for that win and he should prove too strong for his main rival. Autograph Hunter hails from a yard in flying form but he is best off a strong pace and he may not get that today in what could prove to be a tactical affair. There is also a suspicion that he may be more at home on the fibresand and for those reasons we will take him on. Sea Cookie would have to show a dramatic improvement in form to make the frame and we will stick with Alittlebitleft to get his head in front again.
