Well, they didn’t used to be until the Talking Horses fraternity seduced me :lol:
Ayr Gold Cup
It’s been a very lack lustre season for ROHAAN, but I think there were signs of life last time in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock where he finished tenth of sixteen some six lengths behind the winner. He didn’t get a clear run where it mattered and would have been a lot closer otherwise. It would not be hard to argue that he’s been set up for this race and if he runs anywhere near his best he would have a very strong chance.
I also like SIGNIFICANTLY who almost did me a really good turn in the Portland at Doncaster a week ago when going down to ANNAF by a short head. He hasn’t been put up any for that super run and if this race hasn’t come too soon he’ll be there or thereabouts.
A few others to look at:
SANCTION - 4:40 Catterick. Came from William Haggas’ yard and promptly upped a couple of furlongs in trip by Ed Bethell to win pretty comfortably with plenty in hand. Upped another couple this time which should suit even better.
EMBRACE - 4:25 Newbury. Ran a good fourth in the Fred Darling then highly tried in the 1000 Guineas and the Sandringham where she was found wanting. Tried at a longer trip last time, but didn’t get it. Dropped in Class this time and loves it soft.
SIRONA - 1:15 Ayr. I noted after her July Newmarket run “ SIRONA was found out in a couple of Listed races ,but looked good at this Class 3 level. She was taken off her feet early on, but finished strongly into second and I think she can go one better.” Since then she has been overtried at Class 2 level and I think she is again here. I’ll be interested to see how she runs, but I still think Class 3 is better for her.
