Yes You can seal treble at Ayr

Yes You looks to have every chance of completing her hattrick in the first division of the William Hill Join Plus In Shop Today Handicap at Ayr this afternoon.

Following consecutive placed efforts on her first two starts for Scottish handler Iain Jardine, the chestnut filly opened her account at Hamilton last month and followed up at Redcar less than a fortnight ago. Jardine is a trainer who has been among the winners in recent days and Yes You remains open to further progress.

Tim Easterby also has his string in excellent form and is fancied to add to his tally with Brother Mcgonagall at Ripon.

As his name would suggest, the three-year-old is a halfbrother to former stable stalwart Hamish Mcgonagall, who won ten races for the same trainer and owners and was placed in the Nunthorpe twice and the Prix de l’abbaye once. Brother Mcgonagall has an awful long way to go if he is to reach those sort of levels, but he is making an excellent fist of things this season, winning three times and climbing the ratings over a stone in the process.

He has done his winning at around a mile and crucially has form on the easy ground he is likely to encounter in the Ripon Annual Badgeholders Handicap.

Ryan Moore interestingly heads to Wolverhampton in the evening and the hint should be taken, with Sir Michael Stoute’s Commodity expected to resume winning ways in the FCL Global Forwarding – Making Logistics Personal Handicap.
