Race preview
MARCH WIND made a pleasing start to her racing career when keeping on for second over this trip at Wetherby in January, and she is entitled to shed her maiden tag at the second time of asking. She is fairly well related and can make her presence felt, but Lunar Chief's dam was a dual bumper winner and he should not be taken lightly on his debut. Air Of Approval also warrants a market check.
