Plenty with claims including Ayr runner-up Fifty Sent, who finished in front of last year’s winner Chinese Spirit on that occasion. It was soft ground when War Defender placed at Doncaster and also when Jewel Of Kabeir finished runner-up at Ripon earlier in the week. MAKALU drops back down a grade racing off the same mark as when successful at Redcar in May so Ruth Carr’s charge gets the vote, though Cosa Sara and Propagation are others with a shout.
