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 SCOTTISH GRAND NATIONAL ON SUNDAY, APRIL 18TH, 2021.

www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk

Runner-up on each of his last two starts here, including over C&D last month, TRAVAIL D’ORFEVRE can deservedly regain the winning thread while upholding last-time-out form with Fia Fuinidh (fourth). Nick Alexander’s charge is preferred to Nights In Venice and Jolly Nellerie, who is very interesting going up in distance on just his second start over the larger obstacles. There could be more to come from him.

RACE RESULT DISTANCES

4TH TIME

BLEU D’ENFER has shown a consistent level of form on his most recent starts, placing over both hurdles and fences at Down Royal, and Stuart Crawford’s gelding appears to have been found the ideal opportunity to get off the mark. A repeat of Sirekoff’s hurdling debut when runner-up at Clonmel in December would make him the biggest danger, while Adveram appeals most of the remainder.

TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - LUCINDA RUSSELL

The dual Grand National winning trainer has 7 runners on today’s card after saddling 3 winners and 3 runners-up at our last meeting here on February 13 The Kinross handler was to the fore at last week’s Grand National weights launch in Liverpool where her 2023 winner Corach Rambler was allotted a weight of 11-2 for his repeat bid at Aintree on Saturday April 13, that race being scheduled for the week before the next running of the Coral Scottish Grand National here at Ayr on Saturday April 20 Corach Rambler Ahoy Senor Giovinco and Apples Away will all be heading to Cheltenham next month but Russell has several fancied runners today including Traprain Law (Patrick Wadge) in our featured Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase at 3.05

TODAY’S JOCKEY TO WATCH - SEAN BOWEN

Sean was leading this year’s jockeys’ title race by a wide margin before he suffered an injury due to a fall at Aintree on Boxing Day but he’s been gradually working his way back to full fitness and makes one of his now regular visits to Ayr for 2 rides on Sirekoff for John (Shark) Hanlon at 2.35 and Gardener for his more regular employer, Olly Murphy, in our 5-runner feature race at 3.05 Bowen was in action at Kempton on Saturday and again at Hereford yesterday but despite a few winners since his comeback this month, he’s going to find it hard to eat into the lead which Harry Cobden has built up since the Welsh rider’s misfortune over Christmas.

RACE RESULT DISTANCES

TRAPRAIN LAW was not disgraced in a valuable event at Doncaster a month ago and the six-year-old merits plenty of respect off a 2lb lower mark in this slightly easier grade. That said, Ballycoose won well over 2m4f at this venue on his most recent outing and is an obvious threat to the selection off just 5lb higher. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Gardener is just the pick of them.

RACE RESULT DISTANCES

It is hard to look past EIRE STREET, who fairly bolted up on his handicap debut over 2m1f at Carlisle last week, and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop the gelding going in again. Better Getalong dispatched of a subsequent winner in workmanlike fashion over C&D in December but a 5lb rise demands more of him, while the class-dropping Largy Shark also commands attention.

A decent performer on the level, TWO AULD PALS has taken well to hurdles since joining the Lucinda Russell stable and must hold every chance on the back of a strong runner-up effort at Newcastle last month. The six-year-old seems to be the stable’s number one ahead of newcomer Dollar Collar, who was an impressive winner of a point-to-point in October. I Am Max is another to consider following a taking bumper success at Carlisle.

The unexposed Similar Story has yet to put it all together in this sphere, but she has shaped as though going up in trip would be a huge benefit to her and she cannot be ruled out.

FRISBY ran out a comfortable winner of his point-to-point at Dromahane at the back end of last year and was subsequently sold for 40,000 pounds at the Goffs UK January mixed sale. The six-year-old is unlikely to have any issues with conditions and makes plenty of appeal on his Rules debut. Sovereign Star has displayed promise in a couple of points and is likely to go well along with Red Ned, who was just denied at Southwell in November.
