Pick for the Scottish Grand National at Ayr (15:35) is Git Maker. Gavin Sheehan rides for the Jamie Snowden yard. 6/1 (Coral/Ladbrokes) top price earlyy-doors , on the ATR site. E/W best option. .................... The final race at Newbury (17:00), a Class-4 Handicap on the Flat over 1m2f on good-to-soft ground, gives the Sea The Stars colt, Prince Maxi, a sound chance to do well in this affair. Past form is as good as any in the field, and he should be suited by current track conditiions. William Buick rides for the George Scott stable. 11/2 (Coral/Ladbrokes) top price early-doors, on the ATR site. E/W best option. .................... Have a successful and enjoyable afternoon, folks!
You've got to take you hat off to Willie Mullins, Paul Townend and Sharjah there - lovely performance to win over 3 miles and Townend got his timing spot on.
Brighton 406 Antiphon looks on a great mark and 8s look big . C/d winner and should be fresh from the run on the sand and the drop back in trip should help.
Mullins imperious - rocks up with a 4-timer at Ayr plus lots of place prize money. With the second/third/fourth string. Just incredible.
Not bad, Git Maker 3rd of 26-runners at SP of 8/1, and Prince Maxi 4th of 18-runners at SP of 6/1. Guess I should have thought of an e/w double? Never mind, was a good afternoon's racing.
