In depth
Verdict
A typically tough Ayr sprint to sort out with many course winners and many able to handle conditions. A slight TEAMtalk preference goes to Arogant Prince who won last time out, goes well fresh and will relish these conditions. Others to consider include Bundy who put in one of his best runs for a long while when scoring at Newcastle though that came in a sub-standard time. Pips Magic rarely runs a bad race at this track and goes well for the apprentice on board here. He would not want the ground to ease any more and any drying out of the ground would serve him well. Columbine has been running consistently of late and usually goes well for Frankie Norton. Alan Berry's charge is very well handicapped at present though is on a long losing streak.
