Verdict
The key horse is Ayalor who is not harshly treated for this handicap debut and Harry Fry runners do not usually want for fitness. A winner of his only start when scoring at Loudeac in France in the spring of 2014, the market should instruct as to stable confidence. However, he faces a tough opponent in the form of the lightly-raced and progressive HARLEY REBEL, improving with every run and a fine second to the more experienced Debdebdeb at Kempton last time in competitive handicap company. He's going the right way and all looks in place for a big run with Richard Johnson booked. Last month's comfortable Ludlow winner, Fishing Bridge, can also get involved along with topweight Alberobello.
