Ayr Race 2 - Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

MARTY MCFLY (6) seeks a five-timer after a 3L success tackling a higher graded 3200m handicap chase at Carlisle four weeks ago. Ticks all the right boxes to continue winning. Top pick. THE GRAFTER (4) bids for a hat-trick securing a 4L victory contesting a lower level 3200m novices handicap chase at Newcastle during February. Respect as set to score again. RISK DE PLUIE (3) won by 5.5L a soft ground 3800m novices handicap chase at Chepstow before a runner-up effort over the same course and distance last month. In the mix down in journey. PLEASINGTON (1) drops in level and could show best form.

Useful type. Resumes off a 48 day letup. Last outing pulled up at Newbury on February 28 over 4000m. Race before fell at Wetherby on January 22 over 3900m. Capable enough and is worth consideration.

Second-up to post a big 4 len win. Newcastle on February 21 over 3300m defeating Spadestep carrying 75.5kg at $3 in a steeplechase. Making headway every start.

Run before finished sixth of 11 starters at this track on January 29 over 3300m, on slow going 27 len behind Tommy Combats carrying 71kg at $8. Found best form now. No surprise to see him back in winner's stall.

Third-up today. First-up won by 3.5 len Sedgefield on March 10 over 3300m defeating Intenzo with 72.5kg at $3.30 in a steeplechase. Second run from a spell raced on the pace prior to fading finished sixth of 12 runners at Carlisle on March 22 over 3200m, 26 len behind Marty Mcfly with 62.5kg at $8. Might find this a bit too tough.
