Tomily has to concede plenty of weight but the Hannon speedster has been plying his trade at a higher level and is a useful performer on his day. This slight drop in grade will be appreciated and he seems sure to give a good account with Rossa Ryan claiming a handy 3lb. Kick On Kick On is tricky to assess as he has not been seen since October. However, he is unbeaten over the minimum trip and is likely to go close if ready to roll.The market may prove a useful signpost to his chance first time back. Much will depend on the run of the race but AIRSHOW looks progressive and the form of his recent short head second to Prevent was boosted when the latter was just denied in a hot Ascot handicap on Saturday. He likes to race prominently so the drop to the minimum trip doesn't look an issue.
