7/2
Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (13.1f, good, 8/1). Off 7 months. Consistent in the main last year and looks the more likely of the Jim Goldie-trained pair. Makes plenty of appeal.

12/1
Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Blinkered for 1st time, shaped as if still in form when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time on the Flat. Can't be ruled out.

16/1
Sixth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Newcastle (12.4f), doing too much too soon. Off 6 months. Not discounted for all that she might strip fitter for the run.

Forecasts

Graces Quest (7/2), Berry Edge (4/1), Golden Valour (5/1), Flying Moon (11/2), Kalahari Prince (13/2), Royal Countess (7/1), My Macho Man (12/1), Lochnaver (16/1)

16:10 Ayr - 4 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

GRACES QUEST wasn't at her best when last seen 7 months ago but she had a positive 2022 overall and could get back on track on seasonal debut. Berry Edge is a danger dropping back in grade and My Macho Man is worthy of interest returning to this sphere after a spell over hurdles.
