RACKS CROSS needed the outing when 6th on return from 521 days off at Kelso at the end of December. Now making yard bow for Harriet & Rutherford, she should be in better shape and can make the most of an up in trip and an opening mark of 84 here. SOUTHEAST ROSE took a step in the right direction when a good staying 5th on return to hurdling after a handful of lacking efforts over fences.

SPORTY JIM was last seen a decent enough 3rd at a Haydock bumper at the end of 2021. Now making hurdle debut for Olly Murphy while heading up in trip he looks capable of an improved showing in these ranks. YOUR OWN STORY is respected for a couple of victories between the flags in Ireland and could prove a useful acquisition for Lucinda Russell on rules debut.

Race 3 – Ayr Racecourse
IF NOT FOR DYLAN has found marked improvement since being paired with William Shanahan and his valuable 7lb claim. The pair won by a neck over C&D on their first run together and weren’t disgraced when a short head 2nd at Wetherby since. A 4lb hike will be felt but the pair look capable of notching another success. CABOY has found the frame in all 3 outings this season but has proven difficult to win with. His 103 mark looks workable and he might be able to get some good work in here, or maybe bring home more minor money.

Race 4 – Ayr Racecourse
ROYAL ARCADE was denied an opening at a crucial stage when ¾ of a length 2nd over the extended 20f here latest. He remains unexposed and could take the final step forward off the same 119 mark. SEEMORELIGHTS will not lie down as he comes off the back of a dominant 5 length score over C&D when fitted with first-time cheekpieces. His rider takes most of the 6lb rise off so he could double down here.

One to consider – SEEMORELIGHTS (1)
Race 5 – Ayr Racecourse
GREEN VAULT has won his last couple with plenty in hand and no signs of slowing down. He gets the nod to complete the hat trick for Lucinda Russell despite carrying 9lb more. STOLEN MONEY is lining up for a hat trick of his own and has an 8lb hike to weather. He could secure the accolade at the selectin’s expense if allowed an early lead.

DESTINY IS ALL has rattled the crossbar in both outings since returning from 501 days off. The latest saw him denied by a neck here and now upped in trip we could see due compensation on his peak run.

EL POPPOCHAPO gets a nod on debut for Stuart Crawford with some useful relations and the pleasing booking of Brian Hughes. ONE COOL LADY is a stablemate to the selection and is also making her debut.
