Verdict

Airshow returns to action 4lb higher than when scoring at Newbury in October while Central City went close over 7f at Wolverhampton in November. Mighty Mac and Galloway Hills have both won novice races this year and the latter goes handicapping for the first time but ROYAL HOUSEHOLD (NAP) just failed to catch the winner over today’s trip at Lingfield a week ago and with that run under his belt and first-time headgear applied, Richard Hannon’s charge may prove good enough.
