Verdict
A couple of these returned losing favourites on their latest starts. STYLISH BOY found one too good at Ayr but that looks stronger form than Street Duel's second at Brighton and the Fahey colt gets the nod. Airton should finish closer than he did at Haydock last time while this is easier than Be Kool's task at York a fortnight ago. Rock On is a half-brother to a Listed winner and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Good Intent.
