Crownthorpe likely to relish return to mile

Fahey’s three-year-old reverts back to shorter distance for outing at Ayr

CROWNTHORPE is the pick in the Parkdean Resorts Glasgow Fair Handicap at Ayr after running a fair race in defeat at York on his latest start.

Up against some unexposed rivals on the Knavesmire, he stuck on at the death over 10 furlongs but might well be better switched back to a mile here as his best runs have come around that distance.

Linda Perratt has double hopes with BURMESE BLAZER and ENEMY OF THE STATE.

Both are sent straight back into action by the Milnathort trainer after runs at Hamilton on Saturday evening.

Burmese Blazer tackles six furlongs this time after finishing fourth over the minimum at the weekend.

AIRSHOW can put on a winning display in the Sky Bet Top Price Promise Handicap at Windsor.

Rod Millman’s charge boasts a higher all-weather rating than his turf mark and appears more than capable of taking advantage of that judged on his recent second at Newmarket.

His stats on artificial surfaces are impressive, winning two of his three starts, but after finishing just a short head behind Prevent at headquarters, he is clearly no back number on grass.

Airshow tried to do it the hard way that day and was only headed in the final stride, offering plenty of optimism for the rest of the summer.

The handicapper has jacked up his perch a little in the interim, but a mark of 84 still gives Millman something to work with.

JUS PIRES hit the bar at this track at the beginning of the month and can step up on that in the Sky Bet Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap.

Making his first start of the campaign, and his inaugural outing after a gelding operation, Jus Pires found Team Decision just over a length two good after failing to really find his rhythm.

He likely just needed the outing and Jeremy Noseda’s runners are now starting to come into form.

REGINA PACIS has been found a good opportunity by Roger Charlton in the Sky Bet Racing Cash Out Fillies’ Handicap.

A maiden winner at Newcastle in March, she found big-money recruit Aim Of Artemis too good in a novice heat at Newmarket last time and this looks an easier assignment on the face of it.
