Verdict

Midnight Toker's third behind Aesop's Fables here in April would give him the edge but he ran poorly on a return visit a month later. Thunderbear has ben quite highly tried and showed good pace until weakening over 7f at Galway. As It Was made a winning debut over the track and trip and wasn't disgraced in the lucrative sales race at Naas. Pub Talk has been running better than form figures suggest, though over longer trips, but Static Charge has had plenty of chances. From a yard in fine form, AUTUMNAL BREEZE makes her handicap debut after showing potential in maidens and could be on a lenient mark.
