Verdict
This is a competitive little heat but Glasses Up can never be left out of calculations on his favourite track. After a decent third at Redcar, SANDRET was probably given too much to do when fifth at York and expect Graham Lee to have him closer to the pace today. All of Ayr Poet’s wins have come in Class 6 races but there are possibilities about a trio of three-year-olds with State Of Bliss marginally preferred to Noble Crusade and Camelot Tales.
