Four of this field were successful last time and KOMODO may be the pick of them. Jedd O’Keefe’s charge is a progressive three-year-old and clearly wasn’t inconvenienced stepping up to this trip at Ayr. Save The Bees has a penalty for winning at Redcar last Wednesday but is a tough and experienced handicapper like Haydock scorer Cornborough and they may know just too much for Racemaker. Auspicion has been doing his winning on Tapeta and Coillte Cailin is also better on the all-weather.
