Verdict

FANS FAVOURITE justified strong support in comprehensive fashion at Ayr and looks the one to beat as he bids for the hat-trick. Roc de Fer is almost certainly capable of better having been too fresh on his comeback/handicap debut at Ripon, while Sun Lord looks a potential improver heading into handicaps.
