Verdict
A competitive field goes to post for this handicap chase and there is very little between many of the runners but the main protagonists look to be Autumn Mist, Phar City, Bramblehill Duke and Motcombe and the vote goes to Autumn Mist. The selection has been in good form of late without winning but a reproduction of his latest second would make him hard to beat. Phar City rates the main danger on his best form but he is still a maiden after 17 starts and for that reason he is opposed. Bramblehill Duke is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he still looks high enough in the weights and his best form is on soft ground.Motcombe has dropped to a handy mark and ran as if about to hit form last time so he should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Autumn Mist.
