Airshow is preferred to Rumnotred of Rod Millman’s runners though he hasn’t set the world alight this winter. SAISONS D’OR progressed from a pipe-opener at Newcastle to land a Class 6 here next time, despite taking a keen hold. He could defy a 3lb rise if settling better today. Split Elevens is also creeping up the weights but has won two of his last three while Ring Of Gold is back in the right grade but still seeks a first victory here. Barney's Bay hasn’t won in almost two years but looks the pick of the remainder.
