Compensation for Drowne

Steve Drowne gained a measure of compensation for finishing aboard the runner-up in the July Cup in midweek when powering Autumn Glory to a neck success today in the first ever Group race to be staged on an all-weather surface in Britain.

The Geoff Wragg-trained five-year-old (9-1) travelled very well throughout in the one-mile Group Three Ladbrokes Silver Trophy Stakes at Lingfield.
