Silverstone Air is all the rage this year, as Free Wheeler was in 2018. Unfortunately, Free Wheeler has gone to stud, so, we can never see them together.
Under guardianship of Joe Karari and Captain Oruya, Silverstone Air with regular jockey, James Muhindi, will be a senior controlling speed at the Derby shrine wire.
One minor hurdle he needs to overcome, is 2,400m, which Captanne from Oliver Gray's stable, has already mastered. It is essentially between these two, with Fast Five bridging third place.
Missing link this afternoon, is the normal influx of international riders. Otherwise all 'tickety boo'. Muthaiga Club are customarily hosting members as an atmospheric booster.
Party in the Park (Jacob Lokorian on 50 kgs), must be a big noise for the Kisumu Handicap, although Tenby, Lettfot, Winter Comet, and Anjoli, are not about to let him have a smooth passage.
Looking only at Compadre in the Breeding Futurity Stakes. Lady Eccles next best. Gates open from 12.00 noon for a fully trumpeted programme.
