Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Pony Express heads our ratings at 90, four pounds clear of Office Banter on 86, and that gives him the strongest claim in this seven-runner Class 4 over two miles on good ground at Ayr. Office Banter is the main danger and sits closest to him, while Milano Lady on 78 and Eillis on 74 are respectable but have more to find on our figures. Three of the field are unrated by us, which leaves some uncertainty, and our confidence is low, but Pony Express has the best credentials on what we have. Pony Express is our selection.

Ewan Whillans 0/13
Office Banter has run over today's trip and on this going, and he's a leading threat on our figures, but he's yet to win in recent form, was only sixth last time out, and returns after 189 days off, which is the main risk under 156 lb.

Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore 8/41
Won last time out after being pulled up two starts back, and this lightly raced filly returns after 213 days off, so she looks unexposed with scope to improve. She carries 149 lb.

Eillis showed ability when fourth last time out and has run on today's going before, while she carries 149 lb and our rating of 74 ranks her fourth of seven. The risk is a 191-day absence, so fitness is the question mark.

Kiki K is a debutant with no recorded form, so she's unexposed and open to any amount of improvement. She carries 149 lb, and her first run should reveal plenty.
