WISDOM

Curragh last weekend. A repeat of that run should see him go close. Richard Fahey’s Growl seems to have been around for an age even though he’s only six. I’ve backed him on plenty of occasions and plenty of times I’ve collected each-way cash. But he hasn’t won any of his last 16 races — in fact the last time he tasted success was way back in 2016. GAMBLING

ticks enough horse boxes for me to have a little each-way wager. Tim Easterby’s fiveyear-old came a respectable sixth of 20 in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last time out, was a winner at York before that and has twice won on heavy ground. A mid-to-low draw is considered marginally favourable over the straight six furlongs at Ayr and, in a race this tough to win, we’ll take all the marginal advantages we can get. Flying Pursuit goes in stall three and could get a prominent position in the early hustle and bustle of the race.
