Ayr Race 3 - 25% Off Lunch At Western House Hotel Hcp
IMPERIAL GUARD (1) returned to winning ways here last week winning over course and distance in impressive fashion ahead of the re-opposing RAMON DI LORIA (3). Stable had a winner at Newbury on Friday so are in form and he is hard to beat. The second mentioned is exposed though been a fine servant. In good health without winning and needs more if overturning the outcome of last week. LANARRA (6) is being brought along steadily this year and finds a realistic opportunity now back at 1400m. One to consider. SOUL WARRIOR (4) offered more promise at Ripon two weeks ago and deserves respect now up to this trip.
