In depth
Verdict
No winning form available but KNIGHT OF THE AIR went close at Brighton a week ago and gets a token vote on that basis. Hold Firm is usually thereabouts without being good enough and Kinnara finished closer at Bath last time but that was over the minimum trip. Berkshire Beauty continues to slide down the weights while To The Victor and Onelastfling are both lightly-raced and perhaps capable of better in a pretty poor contest.
