Ode To Autumn (4/7), Assimile (11/4), Good Boy Alfie (7/1), Allleedsaren'twe (16/1)
John Gosden held a very strong hand in this race at the initial entry stage, and he relies upon the first time blinkered ODE TO AUTUMN to improve his fine Newcastle AW record (14 from 39; 36%). This gelding looks far from a leading light, but has been gifted an ideal opportunity to belatedly get off the mark. Of the others, only Assimile could be considered as a realistic threat at this stage of their respective careers.
