Ayr Race 1 - Supporting Ayr Racecourse, The John Cocking Irish Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
VEGA KING (4) is the pick of the debutants and hails from a stable noted for their two-year-old runners. Bred by Lucky Vega out of Maysora while the dam is a half-sister to two-time G2 winner Stormy Antarctic. Worth considering. LOVE ROME (2) placed a respectable third on first career appearance contesting a novice race at Newmarket (July). Expected to challenge racing second-up. ASTRAL CROWN (1) is another debutant to watch for. Bred by Naval Crown out of Listed Pontefract Castle Stakes winner Freedom's Light. Potential. WELEYFF (5) cannot be discounted after placing third providing sole career outing in a novice at Beverley.

At debut, 3rd in a small field at Newmarket (July) on June 20 over 1400m, 7 len behind Al Hudaiba with 59kg at $17. Better for that outing and is in the mix.

Two-year-old colt who is first starter by Lucky Vega out of Maysora. Profiles well for this and expected to measure up.
