CLAY REGAZZONI has the form in the book with a promising second over today’s trip at Ayr on last month’s debut. He finished eight lengths clear of the rest on that occasion and Keith Dalgleish’s charge may well prove good enough in this as that looks stronger form than Rusalka and Havana Dawn’s efforts to date. Spygate’s half-sister made a winning debut for Richard Fahey while Mischief Star is related to a couple of winning sprinters and both of the above are preferred of the newcomers ahead of Commanche Falls and Our Dave.
