Verdict

A competitive opener to the main Flat card of the year at the track with Air Raid expected to be popular after his two recent Hamilton victories over his trip but he’s up in class and raised 8lb; this will be tougher. Not many three-year-olds have run in this so far (there are three this year) but the two that have produced a winner and a fourth, Cosmic Law would be their main player this year having found his feet in handicaps of late. DALTON will need a career-best making his AW debut but this versatile sort looks on the up and can defy a 4lb rise for his Nottingham win. Staxton could improve on his fourth in this last year and he’s considered along with course specialist Nick Vedder.
