      Verdict

      Avoiding horses with a penalty in bumpers can be a good policy to take out, so with that in mind, MUSIC IN THE AIR gets the nod ahead of Whereveryougoigo. The others with experience make limited at this stage, so Avon Gale - a son of Silver Patriarch - might be the dark horse to monitor in the betting. However, Music In The Air showed up nicely until she got tired near the finish on her debut back in June. Having been given plenty of time to recover, the Robin DickIn-trained mare can be expected to be a lot wiser this time around and is taken as the one to capitalise if the 7lb extra takes the edge off Whereveryougoigo.
