AIR OF YORK carries a double penalty having won twice over 6f last month. He made all for a comfortable two-length victory here last time and is worth a try over this longer trip in this modest company. Clary has failed to threaten off today's mark since rattling-up a hat-trick in September and Zed Candy Girl is getting no nearer despite slipping down the weights. Reginald Claude has the beating of Fossa on running here in October but all nine victories to date have come over 6f and the remainder are even harder to fancy.
