ASPETAR READY TO DELIVER

-

Aspetar looks to have a fine chance of getting his career back on track with victory in the William Hill Doonside Cup at Ayr tomorrow.

The Al Kazeem colt is held in some regard by trainer Roger Charlton and was last seen contesting a Group Three in France in June, after winning a Listed event at Goodwood.

His unbeaten run came to an end across the Channel, where the ground was considered to have gone against him.

A scorching summer meant he was put away for an autumn campaign and conditions look certain to be much more in his favour in Scotland, for what also represents a drop in class.

Unraced as a two-yearold, he remains open to lots of improvemen­t and it will be disappoint­ing if he does not make his presence felt.

Agincourt absolutely dotted up last time out at Ripon and is expected to make a bold bid in the British Stallion Studs Scottish Premier Series EBF Fillies’ Handicap.

David O’Meara’s threeyear-old was getting off the mark at the fourth attempt, having run some way below her best at the same venue the time before.

She was found not to be herself following that penultimat­e run, so it was no real surprise to see her bounce back and it will be interestin­g to see what she can do on her handicap bow.

O’Meara can also land a nice prize at Chelmsford by way of Firmament in the Irish Lotto At totesport. com Handicap.
