Ryan Moore looks to have an excellent book of rides today and LIGHT OF AIR could be another for the former champion. Fit from the all-weather, he did win on Turf in his native Germany and has been knocking on the door off this sort of mark lately. Stable companion Etaad is no forlorn hope as he was running well at Lingfield at the start of the year. Tom's Rock is lightly-raced and won over course and distance last year. He’s still on a fair mark while Perfect Quest was a consistent sort at this level last season and is another worth a second look. Capton made steady progress in his first season and should be capable of winning in handicap company this year.
