Muscika to continue winning ways at Ayr

– Muscika can confirm he is a young sprinter on the upgrade by following up a win at Ayr a month ago in the racinguk.com/ hd Handicap back at the Scottish course today.

The three-year-old gelding looks well capable of coping with a 2kg rise in the ratings for his 0.75 length verdict over the battlehardened Tatlisu on only his fifth start.

He could well prove to be another shrewd buy for the David O’Meara team as he was purchased for just 24,000 guineas out of the Richard Hannon stable at Tattersalls Autumn Sales in October.

Mable Lee is fancied to make her experience count in the Racing UK Now In HD! EBF Novice Stakes.

Trained by Iain Jardine, this Zoffany filly came forward nicely from her debut effort to find just Ellthea too good at Carlisle last month.

The winner there might easily go on to better things in time and with two runs under her belt now, the Jardine runner should know what the game is all about.

She also looks likely to be suited by this first try at 1200m.

There is every chance of a Jardine double with Yes You holding claims in division two of the Racing UK Apprentice Handicap.

The three-year-old had her first start since switching yards and first run anywhere for almost a year - at Doncaster recently and put in a particularly pleasing effort in second.

It was especially noteworthy as she encountered a few traffic problems. The smart Adam McNamara takes the ride.

Sands Chorus can make amends for a slightly unlucky run last time by taking the Ripon Cathedral Handicap to register his third win of the season at the North Yorkshire track.

The James Given-trained fiveyear-old was sent off the 5-2 favourite over 1800m but was short of room in the closing stages and had to settle for fourth place.

He can put the record straight on his return to 2000m over which he has already been successful twice this term.

Kilowatt is another horse to have shown a liking for this course. He made it third time lucky after two second-placed efforts when getting off the mark on his fifth start. - Press Association
