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.
