Ayr

Tomorrow, HurdleClass 42m

The well-related WILSTAR proved a let-down starting out over hurdles at Newbury, but he has since undergone wind surgery and, given the promise he showed in bumpers during the spring, it's not hard to envisage him leaving that form a long way behind here. He gets the nod ahead of French import Locquirec, while likely improvers Like Minded and Sanilam have decent each-way claims, for all that they're both likely to be seen in a better light when faced with stiffer tests.

    Made the frame all 3 starts over hurdles in France for Francois Nicolle. Tongue strap enlisted for this British debut and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant.

    Verdict
    Out of a 2m-3m hurdle winner and didn't shape at all badly when chasing home a useful-looking type on debut/sole start for Stuart Crawford in a Ballinrobe bumper during the summer. Possibilities if able to build on that now sent hurdling for new yard.

    Verdict
    Successful at Perth on second start in bumpers during the spring and clearly wasn't right on hurdles debut at Newbury in November (since undergone a wind op). Fitted with a first-time tongue strap and he's well worth another chance given his pedigree and bumper promise.

    Verdict
    Ayr bumper winner for Claire O'Connell in March and promise both starts in 2m maiden hurdles at Kelso, latterly finishing third in a 9-runner contest on his first run following a wind op. He's another that will benefit from a stiffer test before long but merits respect here nonetheless.

    Verdict
    Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a Kelso bumper in April and, following a 7-month break, he shaped well when third of 8 in novice at Market Rasen on hurdles bow. However, he took a backward step next time at Musselburgh where a shoddy round of jumping did him no favours at all.

    Shaped well when fourth of 11 on debut over this C&D last month and, though already in need of a stiffer test judged on that display, he is a live each-way candidate for last year's winning yard.

    Runner-up sole start in an Irish point in March but, judged on his Rules debut fourth at Carlisle last month, he will probably need more time and distance before coming into his own.

    Beat just one rival home starting out in a bumper here last month and he's hard to warm to now switched to hurdles. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Largy Meadow.

    Verdict
    Fetched €100,000 as a 3-y-o but this well-bred filly failed to justify favouritism on debut in a Perth bumper in May. Little spark switched to hurdles the last twice and while her yard won this in 2023 and 2024, she needs to raise her game a couple of notches.

    Verdict
    Made an encouraging start to his career when second in a Uttoxeter bumper for Tom George in May. However, that now feels like an awful long time ago in light of his poor subsequent efforts in novice events over this C&D for new connections.
