Ayrad To Rule
Today’s 5 UK meetings are at Sandown, Newton Abbot, Doncaster, Beverley and Haydock. The Listed Gala Stakes is the feature at Sandown and takes place at 4.00. We can look forward to a terrific duel between GM Hopkins and Ayrad, with Roger Charlton’s runner just about being the blog’s pick. Due to his Listed victory being secured during last May, he avoids a penalty. Ayrad has also been placed twice in Group company, since then.
There are 8 races at Bellewstown and the same number at Wexford, where Robin Des Feret looks primed to score for Willie Mullins in the flat race that concludes the card at 8.50. Friday’s South Africa meeting is at Fairview.
