Verdict

Automotive has been running well in amateur races and won one of them at Newbury last time. He makes more appeal than Josie's Dream, who scored at Warwick before a poor effort at Yarmouth last week. Liberty Love has been threatening to get his head back in front but is 2lb higher today despite not winning so GAELIC ICE is preferred. She's slipped 5lb down the weights and showed the benefit when going close over a shorter trip at Windsor a week ago. Pat Millman takes a further 3lb off her back today and she already has the beating of Stag Hill on earlier form.
