Verdict

WALKING ON AIR found his relative inexperience catching him out in Grade 1 company here at the National Meeting but he'd looked a most exciting prospect when successful on hurdles bow at Newbury previously and he could be worth siding with to get back on track now handicapping on return. Foster'sisland, who arrives on the back of a smashing second at Wetherby, Harbour Lake, back at 2½m, and Langer Dan head up the dangers in the finale.
