Paris Pick For Ayr Gains

-

Never In Paris can show she is a potential improver by casting aside more exposed rivals in the Jordan Electrics Handicap at Ayr.

The Karl Burke-trained three-yearold has just had the five starts and has been a work in progress. She has had little luck on both her starts this season and deserves a change of fortune.

The saddle slipped on her reappearan­ce when holding a good chance of getting a place at Haydock in June, while nothing went right on her return to the Merseyside venue last month, when she was denied a clear run and had to settle for fourth spot behind Love Powerful.

Never In Paris - who made a winning debut last July and was not disgraced in the Weatherbys Super Sprint later that month - would have learnt plenty from those two experience­s and should be at peak form now.

The handicappe­r has also dropped her 1lb for each run.

Grandma can secure a first victory in the QTS Sponsor The Ayr Gold Cup Handicap.

The three-year-old has yet to strike in five outings, but she has shown some ability during those runs, not least when second at this track last time out.

Beaten three-quarters of a length, she was another runner who paid the price of a tardy start, keeping on well at the end after conceding ground from the stalls.

The handicappe­r has left her untouched on a mark of 52 and she looks well capable of scoring off such a perch.

Tombolo is another who can shed his maiden tag in the Microtech Odds On For It Support Handicap.
