In depth

Verdict

Ayr Harbour won a lower grade contest at Southwell last month and is 7lb higher back on this surface. The veteran SIR MAXIMILIAN is preferred as he wasn’t beaten far despite finishing only sixth drawn wide at Lingfield last time - Ian Williams’ charge can confirm running with War Glory racing over a mile for the first time. The Gill Brothers and Home Before Dusk drop back down in trip with the former making more appeal on an earlier second at Kempton but Mosakhar looks up against it in this grade.
