The fact that NORTHERN AIR has already had two wind operations is slightly disconcerting given her low-mileage, but it wasn't a bad maiden hurdle that she won at Taunton last winter and the 6-y-o is of strong interest now switched to fences on debut for the Dan Skelton yard, particularly bearing in mind that she was a decisive winner of her sole start between the flags. Ostrava du Berlais and Celestial Fashion are feared most in that order of preference.
