Iain is one of the country’s leading dual purpose trainers and there’s rarely a meeting at Ayr where he doesn’t have a runner. His stable is

in good heart at the moment and he comes here today with several chances including with Kraken Florida who runs in a handicap for the first time at 3.00pm in a seven furlong contest. Iain’s record here is good and he’ll be wanting to enhance that today.
