17:20 Ayr

The line just came too soon for POLYPHONIC at Haydock where the faster ground likely caught him out. Another couple of yards and he was the winner so it was still a really likeable effort. This son of Sea The Stars looks on the improve judging by his impressive win at Carlisle prior to that and with the step back up in trip going to suit I think he can gain compensation for that near-miss at the start of the month. He is only 3lb higher here and while it is a better quality of race I think he has more to come yet so at around 13/2 he looks good value against these. Wor Willie is on a roll having won his last two and he has a great attitude for the game so looks the danger despite going up another 3lb. Aimeric impressed at Chester but failed to back that up at York. Still early days for him though so he is also noted. Brasca has gone well fresh before so is another one that must enters calculations.
