Light Of Air can figure back on the Flat after a spin over hurdles and Born To Spend won of these events under today’s rider at Nottingham last month. Four Fifty Three is partnered by a leading amateur in Simon Walker but Serena Brotherton rode last year’s winner and gets the leg-up on the returning CONNOISSEUR. The latter showed little over shorter trips last year but that’s typical of one of Sir Mark Prescott’s charges and much better is expected now racing over middle-distances.
