Forecasts

Fergie Time (5/2), Sophiesticate (11/4), Showmedemoney (6/1), Autumn Festival (6/1), Yeeeaah (8/1), Shaladar (12/1), Heights Of Aran (12/1), St Andrew's Castle (28/1), Buachaill (50/1), Nazca (150/1)

AUTUMN FESTIVAL quickly got back on track when denied only close home at Pontefract last time, doing well to sustain his effort given how hard he went off, and he can gain compensation with a hood now applied. Showmedemoney has shown improved form on his last 2 starts for Iain Jardine and is feared most, with the lightly-raced Sophiesticate completing the shortlist.
