      In depth

      Verdict

      In The Air will have benefitted for a recent chasing debut at Huntingdon but is conceding weight to the four-year-old JETRONIC. The latter won over fences in France and finished runner-up to a winner rated 144 in a novice chase at Cheltenham on last month’s debut for Paul Nicholls. Western Zephyr placed at Carlisle on his first attempt at the larger obstacles and makes most appeal of the rest.
