        Verdict

        AIRSHOW has finished second on three of four previous visits to this track. After a string of largely consistent recent performances, Rod Millman’s veteran deserves a change of luck. Hello Zabeel is back up in trip having a first run for a new yard but Pavlodar has been in excellent form over course and distance lately and Macs Dilemma is also a previous winner here while Garner made late headway when third at Newbury last month. Imperial Dream is still unexposed on Turf but was a beaten favourite at Epsom last time.
