Ayr Race 2 - Western House Hotel Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
METHGAL (8) was not disgraced at Goodwood finishing 6L sixth tackling a higher graded 1400m maiden. Open to plenty of progress up in trip. Rates highly. HILL O RUE (5) is a two-year-old gelding by Ulysses from Akhmatova. Worth a market check racing first up. ELSASS (3) profiles nicely being a colt by Sottsass from Elle Memory. Represents Charlie Johnston stable. Interesting newcomer. BAMBALAM (1) ran seventh when debuting attempting the 1400m Convivial Maiden at York. This is easier and can improve. Looks one to note.

Second-up. First start 9th of 11 at York on May 16 over 1200m, 10 len behind Andesite with 60.5kg at $26. Went for a break before returning 5th of 8 at Catterick on August 6 over 1400m, 13 len behind Hot Property with 60.5kg at $10. Fitter but unlikely to threaten.
