Edelak
10/3
LIGHT AS AIR wasn't seen to best effect in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap and can capitalise on this drop in grade to open his account. Winston Junior comes here on the back of an excellent second at Down Royal so should ensure Aidan O'Brien's son of Wootton Bassett doesn't have things all his own way. Edelak and Slaney Drive appeal as the pick of the rest.

Angus McNae

Light As Air Didn't have the best luck in the King George V Stakes when last seen, but can shed his maiden tag back in calmer waters here.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: This could develop into a sprint for home, and Kingstonian could be well placed to capitalise: Of the better-fancied horses, Winston Junior is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Winston Junior traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on 3 of its last 5 starts: Light As Air has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
