Verdict

A 20-runner handicap run on ever drying ground makes for a very tricky start to this additional National Hunt fixture at Ayr. Both TOP BILLING and Azert De Coeur are essentially above this grade of contest, and only slip into this company after a poor run of recent form. However, the former is too tempting to ignore for each-way purposes from a much reduced mark in an open, but mediocre looking contest. Others in with a shout include Ange Des Malberaux, U Name It and Braes Of Lochalsh.
