NELSON GAY made all to score by half a length over track and trip on his latest outing and is just 3lb higher. Michael Dods’ seven-year-old remains on a workable mark and can make it three wins from his last four outings. Eternal Sunshine finished a close third in a warm race at Musselburgh latest and needs to be taken seriously, while Le Beau Garcon is another to keep an eye on. totewin: Nelson Gay toteeachway: Eternal Sunshine

4TH TIME
Whisperwood failed to justify favouritism when beaten into fourth on her debut at Southwell last month, but it would be no surprise to see her take a step forward. Even so, UNDERWRITER looks the more appealing option. The son of Mehmas changed hands for £200,000 and goes for a yard which knows how to ready one first time out. Any market confidence behind newcomer Strength of Spirit would also be interesting.

TODAY’S JOCKEY TO WATCH - DAVID ALLAN
Irvine born David won’t be free to ride his old ally Glasses Up in the 10 year-old’s bid for an 11th course win at 4.05 but that’s because he’s claimed to ride for Tim Easterby on Hosanna Power and the form of the Yorkshire yard has been one of the features of the early weeks of the new Turf season. Allan has played his usual massive part in that success alongside the yard’s other jockeys Sean Kirrane and the fit-again Duran Fentiman and 4 of the jockey’s 5 rides are for his retaining stable on today’s card, with all of them looking to hold winning chances. Allan’s day starts with stable favourite Copper Knight looking for its 16th career success on the evergreen 11 year-old’s 105th racecourse appearance.
TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - LINDA PERRATT
Linda has yet to saddle her first winner at Ayr this season but her 4 year-old miler Starliner has already gone close here and the same horse won for the stable at Hamilton on Friday night. The Perratt team will be busy saddling 6 runners this afternoon, including 3 in the same race at 3.00 when the yard will be represented by Colour Code, Sixcor and Henery Hawk, the middle one of that trio likely to be the best-fancied with Paul Mulrennan booked to ride. The trainer has enjoyed plenty of big-race success from previous yards in Ayr and Carluke with notable winners at Royal Ascot and the Newmarket July meeting but she’s currently operating out of Jackton near East Kilbride and looks set for another good summer

WOOHOO struck in ready style in an apprentice handicap at Hamilton five days ago and escapes a penalty for that success. If the four-year-old can back that performance up, she will prove very hard to beat. King Of The Jungle finished a fair fourth at Leicester last time and was kindly dropped 1lb, while Sixcor is a four-time course scorer and is another to note.

Having been thwarted in his hat-trick bid when finishing third at Bath 16 days ago, the application of first-time cheekpieces may eke out some improvement in Commanding Prince. Archie Watson’s four-year-old isn’t taken lightly, but ABDUCTION looked an unlucky loser when second at Haydock recently and compensation could be on the cards. The Acclamation gelding was denied a clear run at a crucial point in the closing stages and is taken to go one better. Garden Oasis is also noted. totewin: Abduction toteeachway: Commanding Prince

INANNA had a few of these behind when winning a shade cosily over C&D three weeks ago and a 2lb rise might not be enough to anchor her if arriving in the same mood. Irish raider Little Empire has won and placed in two past visits to Ayr (over 1m) and will likely give another good account, while Leap Day, John L Sullivan and Sir Garfield are others to note in a competitive event.

BELTANE looks the way to go in what appears to be a very winnable handicap. The past course (6f) winner has been knocking on the door recently and the addition of first-time cheekpieces could make all the difference. Cisco Disco is 2lb lower than when touched off over C&D last October and can improve on his recent comeback effort here, while Circles and Penelope’s Sister also hold claims.
