Verdict

Air Raid is capable of making a fist of things as he bids to win this race for the second year in succession. He's only 2lb higher than for his 2019 success here and can go close if top weight doesn't scupper his chances. Stablemates Meraas and Monoski both have scope to improve and are others to consider. However, ADMIRALTY is weighted to better his finishing position in last year's renewal and looks a tempting proposition at the likely odds. Cold Stare is 2lb well-in for this in comparison to future handicap and will also be a player if he responds well in the first-time cheekpieces. George Bowen and Music Society also add spice.
