Genuine pace with Lord Cromwell finding the front from his low draw. AUTUMN BREEZE (1) fought on gamely for second 9 days ago at Gore on a heavy track. Dropping back to 1800m won't be a problem, and a wide draw might even be a blessing in disguise. On top. ENCHANTED DELIGHT (6) was a bold runner-up in her penultimate start, and then raced greenly as the favourite last time out. She has the pole position this time, and she can make amends. Follow your money. FIRST EMINENT (7) has battled in her last couple of starts over a middle distance, and meets a fairly soft field here. She will be suited to 1800m, and can figure in the top 4. MISS BOUQUET (12) has been looking for more ground, so the step up from 1400m to 1800m should see a form reversal. Include in all combinations. BEAUJOLAIS (9) has been battling to find form, but that can change with a step up to a middle distance for the first time. Don't risk her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Autumn Breeze can win this.
