Draw Advantage: NoneRace Tip
Walking On Air brushed aside his rivals with consummate ease on his sole outing over obstacles in January, cantering to a 13-length victory at Newbury. His dam was a thorough stayer and he may be able to take a big step forward now stepping up in trip. It is not an easy task on only his second outing, though, and it may pay dividends to side with the experience of the Gordon Elliott-trained THREE STRIPE LIFE. The six-year-old was only denied in the Ballymore by an exceptional novice hurdler and he may be able to go one better today. Colonel Mustard gave a good account to finish third in the County Hurdle and he demands respect on his first attempt at this trip.
