FORM RATINGS Included in the form guide below each horse is a form rating, calculated from the horse’s previous performances, taking into account a number of variables such as finishing position, distance won/beaten by, horses beaten/beaten by, weight carried, race time (compared with the standard time), going allowance, number of days since that performance, etc.

Horses which have not raced will not have a form rating, as may some horses which have raced but not recently in Britain or their performances to-date have not yet merited a rating.

MIGHTY THUNDER WAS THE WINNER OF THE CORAL SCOTTISH GRAND NATIONAL ON SATURDAY, 18TH APRIL, 2021.

HOW TO BET 1.

DISTANCES

AILIE ROSE took her hurdles form to a new level when runner-up to a smart prospect of Gordon Elliott’s at Down Royal last month and the daughter of Fame And Glory is unlikely to be inconvenienced by the drop back in trip. Ramble West couldn’t have won any easier on her bumper debut at Musselburgh and she is more than capable of being in the mix. Rae Des Champs, Cancan and Miss Milano appeal most of the remainder.

Win: Ailie Rose

Eachway: Ramble West

DISTANCES

In this competitive contest, marginal preference is for BARNEY STINSON, who was edging towards a first career victory in Ireland. If transferring that form to his new stable, he is fancied to shed the maiden tag at the sixth time of asking. Ugo Du Misselot sits on appealing mark on his handicap debut and rates the most immediate danger, while Spark Of Madness is another to consider.

Eachway: Ugo Du Misselot

Win: Barney Stinson

FOSTER’SISLAND comes into this in fine fettle on the back of a taking success at Kelso. The six-yearold remains relatively unexposed at this distance and he appears more than capable of making it four wins from his last seven. Lock Down Luke has promised to be suited by a step up in trip, which he gets here, while last-time-out Kelso winner Curramore cannot be discounted either. Recent point-to-point winner Burnt Ash must be respected for shrewd connections.

Win: Foster’sisland

Dreams Of Home may be happier dropped back in trip after weakening over further on his chasing bow at Carlisle. He can go close here but a chance is taken on ROYAL ARCADE. A lightly raced sort who won over hurdles at Carlisle, he looks a chaser in the making and may make a winning debut over fences. Fete Champetre ran out when challenging last time and has plenty of ability, and he could also get in to the mix.

Ardera Cross has won here four times, three over course and distance, and if he can get back to form, he is very well handicapped. Fearless is interesting on his first start over fences and is well worth a market watch, but HEARTBREAK KID could be the one. A close-up third over further at Sedgefield when weakening on his first appearance since March suggests a return to this trip is ideal.

HORSE CARE AT AYR At every race meeting at Ayr there are three specially qualified equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action.

During a race two vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend a casualty in the same response time as the Medical Teams responsible for the welfare of the Jockeys.

The third vet is based at the Stable Yard where a close check is kept on all horses especially those returning after a race.

MEDIA COVERAGE & RECORDING FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES All Attendees (which for the purposes of this clause also includes horses and for the avoidance of any doubt includes families with children) are reminded that many races and fixtures are given coverage on television, radio and in print and various other forms of media. By entering the Racecourse Attendees are accepting they may appear in such coverage which may also include printed or electronic material used for the promotion of the Racecourse.

Accordingly, Attendees shall have no right to object to their inclusion in any much coverage whether produced by the Racecourse or by third parties authorised by the Racecourse. Furthermore by entering the Racecourse each Attendee consents to the passing of still or moving images of them to third parties authorised by the Racecourse for the purposes of the production of printed or electronic material to be used solely for the Promotion of the Racecourse.

Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse!
