Verdict
AUTUMN GRAY ran nicely on her recent debut at Naas and can build on that showing. A half-sister to three winners, the selection was best of the newcomers on that occasion where she finished her race quite well. Two of those, Churchill Bond and 80-rated Lunar Empress, who is now tried in cheekpieces, re-oppose today but the selection is open to a fraction more progression. The Aga Khan pair of Shenata and Katiraya are closely matched on their respective debut runs in a July maiden at Leopardstown.
