9st 12lb

J: Jack Callan

T: Kevin Ryan

Second of 24 in the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last June and he showed good speed before fading into sixth of 19 over 6f here (good) last October, when last seen; wind op since; the drop back in trip could be a positive move on his reappearance; can make a bold bid.

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Kevin Ryan

Classy front-running 3yo who was runner-up in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and fifth in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, when 6f on soft ground probably stretched his stamina; today's conditions should be ideal and he may not have reached his ceiling just yet; big player.

9st 9lb

J: Tom Eaves

T: Kevin Ryan

Rapid strides in the first half of the year, notably when blitzing rivals from a wide stall at Chester's May meeting (6f, good); fine second at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) then he was a big market mover in the Stewards' Cup last month, showing his trademark early pace but weakening out of things in the final furlong; last year's renewal showed making the running wasn't a barrier to success in this race and Kevin Ryan bids for a sixth Ayr Gold Cup win; stiff 6f on slower than good might prove a step too far though.

9st 5lb

J: Tom Eaves

T: Kevin Ryan

Rapidly improving sprinter who blitzed his rivals in 6f handicaps at Southwell and Chester (impressed from a bad draw) in the spring; came up just short in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm), an effort that earned him another 4lb rise; returning to 6f will suit and his Group 1 entry next month is a clear indicator of the regard in which he's held; best days still ahead of him and that doesn't apply to many of his rivals.

J: Tom Eaves

T: Kevin Ryan

Improving at a rate of knots, blowing away limited opposition in a 5f Southwell maiden in March before winning a competitive Class 3 handicap by daylight back at Southwell one month later; another dominant display at Chester last month (6f, good), fast away from a wide draw and settling the race quickly when surging clear off the home turn; dropping back to 5f should be fine but the form of the latest win hasn't worked out, he's up 12lb and is untried on quicker than good; remains a promising sprinter but this may not be his day.
