REASON TO BELIEVE
LINE OF REASON (3.35) can triumph for sprint specialist Paul Midgley on another cracking card at Ayr.
The eight-year-old returned to form with a fine second to the classy Judicial at Beverley and built on that when third in a red-hot Curragh handicap next time.
The Kheleyf gelding has to give weight to some progressive rivals but is thriving and can score with a repeat of his last two runs.
Jim Goldie remains in peak form and the Uplawmoor handler can score with CHEENI (2.30).
The mare has a respectable record here and shaped like her turn was near when runner-up to
Berlios over course and distance. Goldie can also take the Racing UK Handicap with hat-trick seeker PARTY FEARS TOO (4.05).
The three-year-old has hit form over a mile and can shrug off a 4lb penalty against some
exposed rivals after his latest success at Newcastle.
Ulster raider DUNCAN OF
SCOTLAND (3.05) can shade a trappy sprint for Lee Smyth.
A course and distance winner last year, the gelding really caught the eye when a fine third behind Mujassam in a decent Hamilton sprint. LUV U WHATEVER (4.40) can be the punters’ sweetheart in a competitive staying event.
Marjorie Fife’s eight-year-old hacked up over course and distance recently and can follow up off a workable mark thanks to Faye McManoman’s 7lb claim.
Linda Perratt likes a winner at Ayr and she can strike with LET RIGHT BE DONE (5.10).
The grey landed this contest off a similar mark last year and should be primed after a good third behind Fyrecracker at Musselburgh. ROBBEN RAINBOW (5.45) rates the safest selection in the closing apprentices’ handicap.
David Barron’s gelding shaped
well for a long way when fourth to Coviglia here and can take advantage of a 2lb lower mark.
Ben Pauling’s NEWTON
GERONIMO (2.20) can make another raid on Worcester.
The nine-year-old has improved rapidly since tackling 2m 4f and remains nicelytreated after cosily dismissing
Call To Order over today’s course and distance.
And JAMACHO (5.30) will be tough to beat for thriving Charlie Longsdon in the lucky last.
