Bulls Aye set to hit target

BULLS Aye has a perfect opportunity to put his first win on the board at the second attempt in the Start Your Career With Scottish Racing Academy Maiden Auction Stakes at Musselburgh.

Iain Jardine’s juvenile ran a promising race on debut when fourth at Ayr last month. The son of Intello wore blinkers for that first run but proved he had an engine in a decent event.

The winner Darvel has since gone on to run in the Acomb, and the second Toussarok is rated 85.

That was over six furlongs, and understandably Bulls Aye moves up to seven now – which looking at his breeding, should suit. It will take a good one to beat him.

Jardine’s Nakeeta may be nine but has shown on more than one occasion this season there is still a bit of his old ability there. The 2017 Ebor winner was backed at big prices last time out at Ripon but was caught flat-footed over a mile and a half.

His days of winning over that trip are probably over, and he steps up to almost two miles again and is down in grade for the Racing Welfare For All Of Racing’s People Handicap.

Significantly might not be much of a price in the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes, but Karl Burke is looking for a confidence boost for his useful juvenile.

Burke must be scratching his head over how the son of Garswood has yet to win a race.

He flew home on debut at Newcastle but failed to catch the smart Muker. At Doncaster, Significantly was in front too soon and was caught on the line. He can surely get off the mark this time.
