      Verdict

      All of these can be given a chance including Cavatina and Comrade In Arms, who make their handicap debuts and seasonal reappearances for the powerful Haggas and Stoute yards respectively. The remaining trio all bid for hat-tricks with both Ode To Autumn and Image winning at Newcastle last time, though the latter is upped in class. LUNA ECLIPSE scored over course and distance last month and beat a couple of subsequent winners in the process. Andrew Balding’s colt gets a tentative vote in a tough race to call on the strength of that form.
