NOW IT’S TIME FOR T
NICHOLAS T (4.10) is the name to remember on Ayr’s ever-popular Glasgow Fair Family Raceday.
Jim Goldie’s gelding loves this venue and did me a favour when edging out Smile A Mile over course and distance recently.
The seven-year-old was value for more than the neck verdict that day and is well handicapped on the pick of his form.
The in-form Mark Johnston can land the opener with WALK
IN MARRAKESH (1.35). We are unlikely to have seen the best of this juvenile who relished tackling seven furlongs when opening her account at Beverley.
The Middleham Maestro can double up thanks to ARMS OF THE ANGEL (5.10).
ART OF UNITY (2.05) could spearhead another profitable raid by John Feane.
The thriving sprinter should comfortably shrug off a 5lb penalty with any repeat of his game defeat of Debawtry at Hamilton. The shrewd Curragh handler can strike again with
MIDNITEMUDCRABS (3.10). The six-year-old flopped over a mile at Gowran last time but she has dropped back to an attractive mark down in trip.
CLIFF BAY (2.40) is well worth punting for Carluke handler Keith Dalgleish. A good winner at Carlisle, the gelding is nicely treated after going down to Lappet at Musselburgh.
INNER CIRCLE (3.40) can follow up his recent Thirsk triumph for in-form Roger Fell. The gelding beat Thornaby
Nash with plenty in hand and escapes a penalty thanks to Ben Sanderson’s 5lb claim.
Mike Smith is looking good to enhance his superb record at his local track with PUDDING
CHARE (4.40). The five-year-old slammed
Dreamseller here last week and can build on that personal best off an unchanged mark.
ROUNDHAY PARK (3.50) can bag the Armstrong Memorial Handicap at Ripon.
Nigel Tinkler’s dual-course winner shaped like his turn was near when just foiled by Gabriel
The Devil in a deeper event at Haydock.
Team Dalgleish may also enjoy a winner here with ALRIGHT
SUNSHINE (4.20). Useful in bumpers, the fouryear-old showed he was just as good on the level when a fine second to Match Maker at Musselburgh.
