Verdict

AIR TRAFFIC finished ahead of several subsequent winners when runner-up in last year's Wood Ditton at Newmarket and it's highly significant that Sir Henry Cecil has kept him in training, despite a number of minor setbacks since. He's a full brother to Group 3 winner Aviate so a couple of victories will boost his stud value and he can gain the first of those here. Reyamour was frequently placed in his native France and won a juvenile hurdle for Alan King at Hereford in November. He should make his presence felt while Rule Book may be the pick of the three-year-olds having shown promise on his debut at Newbury.
