    Verdict

    AIR OF YORK (NAP) has already won three times this year and has gone close off today’s mark the last twice. This is easier than his latest task at Newbury and he’s won in soft going before. Mankind has a shout on his earlier second at Windsor while The Groove finished closer at Chepstow last time. Bidding War and Serjeant Painter make their handicap debuts while Ascot Day is a winner in France and is worth a second glance on his debut for new connections.
