Verdict
AMAZING RED seems suited by small fields nowadays and can follow up his victory here last month off a 2lb higher mark. Lucky Deal looks out of sorts but races off his lowest mark in more than two years while Autumn War was second over this trip at Haydock after running well over 2m at Newcastle. Dancing Harry has only gone up to 2lb for winning at Sandown, however, and looks a bigger danger.
