AL MUQDAD looks primed to win returning to Ayr where he's twice been successful. His fourth at Doncaster showed he's coming back to form off a workable mark. John L Sullivan has been consistent and should appreciate dropping back to 7f after his good third at this track recently. Keep Warm is also interesting
