Ayr Place 6 preview | 27th February

13.45 – Virgin Bet Daily Extra Places Maiden Hurdle – 2m3f

SALADAM has made the frame in all three races under rules and has been a solid second in both starts over hurdles. He could open his account back on better ground, while FLY BY MILAN makes his return but has also made the frame in all starts under rules and could do so again if streetwise enough on his reappearance.

Selections: SALADAM, FLY BY MILAN 

 

14.15 – Virgin Bet Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase – 2m

BASS ROCK had some really smart form over hurdles and made a winning chase debut at Carlisle in a decent race. He was unlucky when beaten a neck at Wetherby last time and is a major player in this. RICHMOND LAKE won impressively last time and is the biggest danger.

Selections: BASS ROCK, RICHMOND LAKE 

 

14.45 – Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Novices’ Hurdle – 2m

FORTESCUE WOOD won on his hurdles debut over C&D on his return and ran a solid enough race under a penalty last time. He should be thereabouts, as should L ANAMOUR, who won over C&D last month and Daryl Jacob rides again, who’s riding as well as ever this season.

Selections: FORTESCUE WOOD, L ANAMOUR

 

15.15 – Virgin Bet Best Odds Daily Handicap Chase – 2m4f

BOBBY BOW shaped well on his chase debut when runner-up at Ffos Las and could go one better with improvement on the cards. THE JAD FACTOR was running really well here earlier last month until falling and although he needs to raise his game, it’s possible that will happen. He cannot be ruled out.

Selections: BOBBY BOW, THE JAD FACTOR 

 

15.50 – Virgin Bet Fives Handicap Hurdle – 2m4f

MOONLIGHT SPIRIT won on his hurdles debut and was highly tried next time. He fell when last spotted but retains potential and given he was rated as high as 108 on the Flat, he isn’t one to give up on and will beat these if he can return to his hurdles debut success. FENNA’S LOSS bounced back with a good fourth last time and is considered.

Selections: MOONLIGHT SPIRIT, FENNA’S LOSS 

 

16.25 – Virgin Bet Daily Money Back Mares’ Handicap Hurdle – 3m

This is wide-open but FOLLOW THAT is better than she shown last time and if able to return to the form of her two seconds in 2021, she could be competitive. FARNE ISLAND makes her handicap debut and while she needs to improve on that form here, she could take a step forward and run a nice race.

Selections: FOLLOW THAT, FARNE ISLAND
