Light Of Air doesn't win very often but almost got up at Newbury and his young rider knows him well. But THE LORDS WALK (NAP) came with a late burst to score over the extended mile here a fortnight ago so the longer trip is in his favour and he can again take care of runner-up Amaretto. Subliminal has been racing exclusively on the all-weather since arriving from France while Gendarme has struggled at the weights since scoring on this ground at Chepstow, though the assessor has relented slightly. Dream Magic has been beaten in sellers recently and rarely runs on Turf.
