AUTUMN BLADES is the highest rated and has joined Ruth Carr after running well below par in both starts earlier this season. The C&D winner may well return to form dropping down to this level back on the Fibresand and he gets the nod. Salerosa hasn't won since taking this race last year but has claims on today's terms and the same comment applies to Mi Regalo if he handles the surface. Brio bounced back when winning a seller on the turf last month, but has a bit to find at the weights with the likes of Boy The Bell and Lovelace.
