Strong pace from Autumn Storm and All In Vain driving ahead from wide draws. AUTUMN STORM (1) was good first-up at Sandown Hillside when a narrow fourth and will be fitter. Up in trip looks very suitable. This looks a thinner race than what he's faced to date and with any luck from the wide draw he'll go close. ENCHANTED JENNI (16) was just fair last time but had been good on debut and up in trip should suit. MONTE CASSINO (14) can be an improver having worked home well for a narrow third at Sale last time out. CROSSOVERKID (3) can resume with a good run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Autumn Storm to win.
