      Verdict

      Star Of Lombardy has recorded both wins to date on the all-weather and Castilo Del Diablo hasn’t won anywhere since 2014. The Salmon Man went close over 1m2f on a couple of occasions last season while Benbecula ran well at Salisbury on his return to the Flat but LIGHT OF AIR won over today’s trip at Brighton before only finding one too good at Goodwood last month and Gary Moore’s charge gets another chance in this.
