Verdict

Some promising types on show here, not least WALKING ON AIR. Nicky Henderson's charge showed plenty despite being no match for a more speedily-bred rival in a Kempton bumper last March so he gets the nod to make a winning start over timber here. Maclaine and Hecouldbetheone are open to improvement so they rate as obvious alternatives should the selection fail to fire.
