A strong pace should make this a proper test at the mile and may expose any runners who have been flattered by tactical races. Shaftesbury Avenue looks the horse with the strongest rebound case after his disappointing Naas effort, while God Of Power arrives as the race’s obvious improver. Krasimir brings admirable consistency but may again find one too strong. At bigger odds, Red Autumn appeals as the runner most likely to outrun market expectations if the race is run to suit.
Conclusion: Shaftesbury Avenue is the most likely winner, God Of Power the main danger, and Red Autumn the value angle in an otherwise competitive race
