Autumn Glory is lightly raced and should progress further after winning at Doncaster in March, but this may rest between Excellento and Kings County with the former just getting the nod. The Goldolphin colt landed three races before finishing a gallant third in a valuable class B handicap at Sandown. The winner of that contest was Putra Pekan who has paid numerous compliments to the form, including a victory in a listed race at Windsor on Monday night. King's County could be a major threat at a decent price. The Luca Cumani stable appear to be turning the corner and this son of Fairy King should improve for a recent third in a hot Newbury handicap. Autumn Glory's victory in the spring mile may not quite be good enough form for this contest, but he has plenty of scope improvement and can take a hand in the finish. As can John Dunlop's Prince Tum Tum, but for the winner we return to Excellento.
