Formscan - Northern Air made a pleasing start for her new yard when second over 2m1f at Newton Abbot last month and she needs to be taken seriously, but the vote goes to CLAIM DU BRIZAIS. Dan Skelton's mare failed to justify favouritism when only fourth at Warwick on her most recent start. However, she was dropped 1lb for that effort and might be worth another chance. Regal Renaissance looks best of the rest.
