Although still a maiden AUTUMN WINTER (1) arguably holds best form along with the most potential. This Aidan O'Brien trained colt stayed on in eye-catching fashion when a close-up seventh tackling a fierce 1m4f handicap at Royal Ascot in June and possibly has more to offer over middle distances. GRANITE BAY (2) continues to head in the right direction and must be taken seriously after a success attempting 1m6f at Listowel. Runner-up on that occasion DARK OAK (4) needs to be taken seriously now armed with a swing in the weights. GANGSTER GRANNY (5) cannot be dismissed.
