    Verdict

    Autumm Spirit scored on her chasing debut in a novices' handicap at Leicester and has the scope to improve. But she'll need to against these more experienced chasers and LIBERTY SEEKER is preferred. He looks on a winning mark judged on his recent third over C&D and the form looks solid with runner-up Kadouchski having won since. Leicester winner Tooka could figure if at his best on his return from nearly a year off, while Good Old Days has place claims on his comeback from a short break. Nawow may need further and Digital Media has a bit to find.
