Verdict
Dual course winner Air Of York is well treated nowadays but isn’t getting any younger. ZEFFERINO goes well here and the drop back to a mile won’t inconvenience Martin Bosley’s charge, who has strong claims with Ella MacKenzie taking off 5lb. Grandstand won over this trip at Brighton two runs ago, as did Sam Bellamy, but blinkers did little to improve Heat And Dust at Chelmsford. Blue Hero’s recent win here came over 1m2f but this is not a strong contest and Bearwith and Twilight Song are others to consider.
