Expect better from Ryan’s Darvel

Youngster can repay faith of trainer after Haydock knock

Kevin Ryan’s youngsters tend to improve markedly for their first run so that bodes well for at Ayr.

Well touted ahead of his debut, he was sent off favourite at Haydock but could only finish fourth of six.

In truth, his race was almost over on leaving the stalls as he was given a hefty bump and, taking into account it was his first run, he was all at sea after that.

DARVEL

Regally bred, by Dark Angel out of Queen Mary Anthem Alexander, he should be very speedy and cost 380,000 guineas. The fact Ryan has entered him in a Group One in Ireland suggests he has been showing plenty at home.

Joe Tuite has his string in good form and can add to his tally in the Sorn Handicap.

The six-year-old holds no secrets from the handicapper but has been ultra consistent since the resumption.

Now 10lb higher than when winning at Yarmouth first time out, he always seems to just hold a bit back for himself. The Keith Dalgleish-trained

looks to face easier opposition than last time out in the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes.

WHO TOLD JO JO PETO SUMMA

Second on his debut, he then made Mark Johnston’s March Law, who had finished second in the Chesham at Royal Ascot, pull out all the stops at level weights.

SMART LASS

looks the one to beat in the Back To Work With CHB Medical Handicap after a good return to action last time out.

Marco Botti’s can break his duck at the second time of asking in the Windsor Free Tips Daily On attheraces.com Maiden Stakes at the riverside track.

The son of Shamardal made a highly encouraging debut back in January on the all-weather at Kempton.

Unraced at two, he has obviously had issues at home but from what he showed

ENDURED

on debut he will races.
