Verdict
ODE TO AUTUMN (NAP) was beaten five lengths at Newbury when runner-up on his racecourse debut but the winner is now rated 96. John Gosden’s colt should be good enough to get the better of Move Over, rated 72, on that evidence. The latter went close at Ffos Las recently though Richard Hannon also runs the 150,000 euros newcomer Ateem while Adams Park is a half-brother to three winners and Ghazan can count Listed winners among his relatives. Marble Bar is a likely improver after a modest debut over track and trip in June.
