Air Of York's only victory so far came on Fibresand but he had Ralph Mctell and Kinnara behind when third at Leicester 11 days ago and the talented Edward Greatrex takes off 7lb again. Megan Nicholls also claims 7lb off PERFECT BOUNTY and the top weight can go in again after scoring over 7f at Salisbury on her latest start. She's climbing the weights but did win over 6f on Tapeta in April so shouldn't be bothered by the drop in trip and looks well drawn. Magic Bucks could be interesting now going handicapping and Named Asset showed a bit more at Lingfield last time but none of the others make much appeal.
