Formscan  - NORTHERN AIR stepped up on her racecourse debut in a bumper to finish runner-up on her hurdling bow at Wincanton in April, when held up off the pace for the majority of the contest, and she is likely to progress again on the back of subsequent wind surgery. Fergal O'Brien's mare gets the vote ahead of the consistent Step Out, who has not been outside the first two in his last three starts. A promising third on his Rules debut here in March, Saracen Beau is of interest on his first attempt over obstacles, as is point-to-point winner My Kiwi Girl.
