LADY PENELOPE’S DAY
LADY PENELOPE (2.40) looks a cut above in the Harry Rosebery Stakes on day two of Ayr’s Western Meeting.
Joseph O’Brien’s filly has made rapid headway in maidens and opened her account in impressive style at Down Royal.
I doubt we’ve seen the best of this speedy two-year-old who can take the promotion to Listed company in her stride.
(1.40) can kick off a profitable day for Michael
EL NASERI
BY GARRY OWEN Dods in the novice contest. The colt rates a sure-fire improver after just failing to catch the more experienced
on debut at Thirsk. The Yorkshire handler can also land the Scottish Fillies’ Sprint with (3.15). The three-year-old looked tailormade for Listed company after slamming in a red-hot York handicap last month.
(2.10) can resume the
Rock QUE AMORO Moss Gill BYLINE Plymouth
winning thread in the Shadwell Stallions Nursery. Kevin Ryan’s juvenile can take advantage of a drop in class after his seventh in the Group 2 Gimcrack at York.
(3.45) can repeat last year’s triumph in the Ayr Bronze Cup.
Richard Fahey’s grey should be primed for the defence of his crown after a good second to
at Thirsk. Fahey can also take the H&V Commissioning Services Handicap with
LUCKY LUCKY MAN East Street Revue SOOTABILITY
(4.55). The progressive filly was just nailed by over 10 furlongs at Epsom but she can go one better back down in trip.
(4.20) can shrug off a welter-burden in the Bam Properties Handicap. Keith Dalgleish’s gelding will relish this tough test of stamina after his narrow loss in a valuable 1m 6f handicap at Haydock.
Roger Fell is hitting form so I’m siding with (5.30) in the lucky last. The well-treated gelding can gain compensation
Knowing ALRIGHT SUNSHINE SMEATON
for his unlucky third behind in a decent
Fragrant Dawn
Thirsk handicap. Ante-post favourite heads a maximum field of 25 for tomorrow’s Ayr Gold Cup. A high draw is often an advantage in the six-furlong showpiece and Ger Lyons’ speedster will break from stall 21. Leading fancies and also stand their ground in a cracking renewal of Scotland’s biggest Flat race.
