The five-year-old faces another challenge on Saturday when taking on Maher’s nine-year-old Pride Of Jenni, which has become a cult figure with her runaway, heart-breaking style up front.
Waller said he has put more slow, stamina-building work into Autumn Glow in preparation for the test.
“Pride Of Jenni is a fantastic horse, and a great horse for so many years, so we won’t be letting her out of our sights,” said Waller, who has Angel Capital and Joliestar in the Everest.
“Then it’s up to [jockey] James [McDonald] to determine how far away he lets her get, and what horses are behind Autumn Glow, if there are horses behind her, and summing the situation up.
“The beauty of the race, it’ll only be a smallish field [of six], so that means you can’t get separated too much, and we can keep her in our sights. We’re confident that we can be fighting out the finish and hopefully winning.
