The testing conditions at Ayr are expected to suit Munjally
– MUNJALLY will revel in the testing conditions and rates one of the best bets in the Racing UK Profits Returned To Racing Handicap (Div1) at Ayr.
The Scottish track hosts the only Flat racing in the UK today and its eight races are dominated by locally-trained runners.
Munjally began life with Sir Michael Stoute but high hopes for him were soon discounted and he moved to another yard as a cheaply-sold cast off.
However, the five-year-old can be effective on his day and he was undoubtedly unlucky at Catterick last time when his pilot went for a run up the inner and met interference.
His staying-on effort to finish just out of the money could have been bettered with a clear run, and Pat Holmes's gelding is worth another chance.
It's hard to get away from VAN GERWEN even though Les Eyre's three-year-old is saddled with a penalty in the Racing UK Day Pass Just £10 Handicap. The hooded gelding came home unchallenged last week and has taken those exertions so well that connections seek to strike again while the iron's hot.
Value seekers should latch on to GINGER CHARLIE in the Racing UK.com/HD Training Series Apprentice Handicap. Ruth Carr's charge gets plenty of weight from his rivals having shown definite improvement to trouble the judge last time.
