Verdict
Richard Fahey has posted a 23% strike rate with his juveniles at Hamilton over the last five years and he will be hoping that GINGER GOOSE can deliver the goods at the second time of asking. Sent off at an unfancied 25/1 on his debut at Doncaster, he ran an encouraging second. The form has gone on to be advertised by third-placed Lewisham's display in the July Stakes at Newmarket. Fraserburgh was behind Ouzinkie when they met at Newmarket but he could still be a factor if he ran up to the level of his previous start at Haydock. Kevin Ryan won this race last year and he will be represented by Nordikhab, who holds an entry in the Gimcrack so it would be no surprise to see him build upon a fair debut at Ayr.
