Having followed up a victory at Exeter with one over course and distance last month, Airgead Suas is on a hat-trick and Cillin Leonard’s claim takes care of a further 7lb rise. Maison D'Or has also won over track and trip but was only fourth when favourite behind the top weight here last time, though was eight lengths ahead of Bailarico. ALL HAIL CAESAR only finished third in that race and is worse off at the weights with the winner. However, he showed improved form at Wetherby and it’s interesting that Rebecca Menzies has no qualms about renewing hostilities.
