Gemini Man struck over 1m1f at Hamilton last time out and, now blinkered for the first time, he merits respect from just 2lb higher. However, a chance can be taken on ANGEL OF THE BAY The son of Cable Bay has stamina to prove, but he kept on well over in a classified event over 7f here latest, suggesting this trip is well worth exploring again. Yorkshire Glory has been knocking at the door recently and he is expected to be thereabouts once more.

TODAY’S JOCKEY TO WATCH - JASON HART
Hawick-born Hart is riding at the top of his game right now and despite the multiple Group 1 jockey not having any rides at Royal Ascot last month, he still managed to ride 10 winners at different tracks over the course of the 5 day meeting, including a Saturday double here at Ayr on June 21. Champion apprentice jockey in 2013 Hart started his career with Mark Johnston at Middleham back in 2011 and a continued association with the yard has seen him ride multiple winners for Johnston’s son Charlie over the past couple of seasons. The rider is probably best known for his association with top sprinter Highfield Princess and he has 5 rides here today, including 2 for his retaining stable of John and Sean Quinn.

Jack Dace’s 7lb claim proved invaluable when The Outlaw kept all of his rivals at bay at Carlisle in May and another bold bid is forecast. However, a 6lb rise from the assessor demands more from Ralph Beckett’s colt in these deeper waters and preference is for GOOD MORNING ALEX The four-year-old was narrowly denied at the Cumbria track 11 days ago and compensation may beckon, despite a 3lb nudge in the ratings. Theoryofeverything is also noted. totewin: Good

TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - IAIN JARDINE
The Jardine horses have been in fine form in recent weeks and the trainer had 7 runners across 3 different Saturday venues yesterday, including Paddy The Squire in Haydock’s Old Newton Cup. Giselles Izzy was a winner for the Carrutherstown team at our last meeting here on June 21 and Crystal Guard was a winner at Musselburgh on Tuesday ridden by stable apprentice Mo Tabti who has been catching the eye of seasoned race-watchers over the past year Iain’s Jonny Concrete was unlucky to bump into former stable companion Kat’s Bob at York a couple of weeks ago but the stable looks set for a busy and successful summer with 5 horses declared here at Ayr this afternoon.

4TH TIME RACE RESULT DISTANCES 1ST
2ND 3RD
THAT LUCAS FELLA is attractively weighted running from the same mark as for his second-placed finish over 1m1f at Carlisle most recently. This slightly longer trip should be well within his reach and he is a strong candidate to give his trainer back-to-back winners in this race. Daring Leader is also unexposed over 1m2f and commands respect. Zebra Star and Millbuie complete the shortlist.

Probable S.P’s: 9-4 Sneddy Eddie (IRE), 9-2 Weegeebear (IRE), 6-1 Kalganov (FR), 10-1 Dandy Lichious (IRE), 12-1 Darbucks (IRE), Jannas Journey (IRE), Due Respect (IRE), Ribbon Is A Dancer (IRE), 16-1 Arc Shadowfax (GB), 20-1 Cheese The One (GB), Lang Toon Lad (IRE), Causin A Commotion (IRE), 33-1 Skyler (IRE), 50-1 She’s A Goldigger (GB)
SNEDDY EDDIE exploited a handy mark to win a stronger-looking race at Gowran Park last month and could be up to brushing aside a 5lb higher in this company. Kalganov is on a long losing run but has been consistent in defeat since undergoing wind surgery earlier this year. He could also have a big say running off 21lb below his last winning rating. Jannas Journey and Weegeebear also warrants close inspection.
