Right decision for me. I know people thinks he’s a bit slow. And I do a bit. But everything about his profile is right for this race on a trends basis.

Walking On Air is entered at Ascot on Saturday for Nicky Henderson.
Just looking through the previous few runnings of the race, Henderson has had a couple of big talking horses beaten in the race.
Last year, 2021, Gallyhill was beaten after opening up fav but drifting to 13/8.
He ran Pipesmoker the year before, who was beaten by Sporting John (fav) for Hobbs. (2020)
In 2019 he had I Can't Explain pull up as fav.
2018, another fav beaten in Dame De Compagnie (2nd by a nose!) - went on to win a handicap though...
Beyond Conceit did get the better of future festival winner (handicap that season) Topofthegame in 2017.
Doesn't really mean anything, but mildly interesting.

Prepared myself to be disappointed now
