It is hard to escape that man John Dunlop this week as his runners continue to carry all before them and with that in mind it should pay to follow Ayun in the 3:50. The daughter of Swain has obviously thrived over the winter judged by the way that she brushed aside her rivals with ease on her reappearance at Bath. She makes her handicap debut here and should take all the beating before perhaps proving up to Listed class in due course. Boston Lodge posted a few good efforts last term and can go well despite the lack of a run, a comment that also applies to Rifleman. Finger Of Fate likes to hear his hooves rattle and will find this company less exacting than when trying to make all in conditions company at Doncaster in the race won by Tacitus. Ian Semple¿s charge may hang on this time to reach the frame without being good enough
