Verdict
Ayr Empress will appreciate the return to faster going having won over 1m1f here on her penultimate start. TOMMY R (NAP) was also successful over the same trip when landing a gamble at Carlisle last time but breeding suggests there is more to come over longer distances and he can defy a 2lb rise. Love Of Zoffany‘s earlier win at Ripon came in a seller while Oot Ma Way is less exposed than Tarnhelm of the rest.
