Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Jeriko du Reponet is the clear pick in this three-runner contest at Ayr, with our rating of 140 putting him 18 lb ahead of Welonlyhavedone on 122 and 24 lb clear of Stride On on 116. That is a sizeable gap, and over the 20f trip on good ground he should have the class to come out on top. Welonlyhavedone is the more credible danger, while Stride On looks to have plenty to find on our figures. Jeriko du Reponet is the selection.
