Ayr Friday 15:40 - w/o Boston Dan

oddschecker Verdict

Winged Messenger won this off 2lb lower 12 months ago and is dangerous to ignore, having been very lightly campaigned since. However, it's notable that his yard had numerous options for this race and it could be worth taking a chance on his stable companion MILFORD, who has hinted at a revival of late and is long overdue a first win in handicap company. A high draw in stall 23 could be highly beneficial. The biggest danger could be American Style, who is 1lb well-in and also fits the profile of one that can figure prominently in an event such as this. The consistent French Affair, Wild Clary and Brighton Boy are others with each-way credentials.

Prediction: 1st Milford, 2nd American Style, 3rd French Affair
