AIR TRAFFIC hasn't raced since making a promising debut in last year's Wood Ditton at Newmarket. His sister and Musidora winner Aviate handled soft ground and an entry in next month's Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes suggests he's held in high regard by connections. Sir Henry Cecil's colt is preferred to Kempton fourth Abbraccio, who also returns from a lengthy absence, while Humungosaur would have strong claims if reproducing last year's third in Listed company at Deauville. Bohemian Rhapsody and Amber Silk are others to note on their seasonal debuts.
