Pertemps Supports Autism In Racing Handicap

2lb lower than when winning at Ayr in July (6f, good to soft); mixed form since (well beaten last twice) but was a winner on heavy ground last November so wouldn't rule out.

Ex-Karl Burke; won at Yarmouth off a 2lb lower mark in June (6f, good); mainly below form since, last time when beaten 15l in Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft; 125-1, hooded for first time); headgear retained; others stronger.

Both wins this term have been on fast ground at Nottingham (both at 6f), but won over 5f here on soft last term; beaten 0.75l when fourth of seven to Belsito (3lb worse off) at Hamilton last time (6f, soft; form sound); each-way chance.

On the same mark as when winning at Hamilton in July (6f, soft); not fared as well since and was beaten 7l when sixth of seven at Salisbury last time (6f, heavy); has won on soft ground, but a bit to prove at present.

Third in a 6f nursery (soft) on this card last season when with Charlie Johnston; bought for £25,000 later in the month and best run since when winning Legends' race on first try over 1m last time at Doncaster (good to soft; 40-1, made all); up 4lb; chance despite dropping back in trip.
