Sir Henry Cecil is showing plenty of patience with the four-year-old AIR TRAFFIC but, as a full brother to Group 3 winner Aviate, he'll be worth a lot more at stud if he has a couple of wins to his name and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark. A reproduction of his run in last year's Wood Ditton would suffice here. Commend was only beaten a neck on his reappearance at Lingfield and is improving, while Joe The Coat hinted at ability at Yarmouth despite missing the break. Sporting Gold and Swnymor may prove the pick of the newcomers and a market move for either would be significant.
