Rutterkin and Brian Sprout were both engaged to run in the 5.30 at Ayr yesterday and the lack of winning form calls for plenty of guesswork regarding the remainder. A speculative vote goes to TANCRED SPIRIT as his best recent run came when runner-up over C&D last month. Julie Burke's claim means he can race off a 2lb lower mark here and Paul Midgley's yard is in fine form at present. Sovereign Street has claims on last year's best form, while Paul Hanagan may coax some improvement form Green Warrior. Majestic Millie looks best of the rest of this modest bunch.
