Ayr Race 1 - Coral 'Bet5 Get30 New Customer Offer' 'Chasing Excellence' Beginners' Chase (Gbb Race)
JERIKO DU REPONET (1) was talented on his day when trained by Nicky Henderson though lost his way last term. Fair second of three behind a subsequent winner Royal Infantry at Hexham (4000m) three weeks ago. May get the job done this time. STRIDE ON (2) landed a maiden hurdle by an impressive 17L here during February. Signed off with a second under a penalty two months later and should make his mark in this sphere. Could give the main selection plenty to think about. WELONLYHAVEDONE (3) proved wildly inconsistent for previous connections. Distant third on chase debut behind the top choice latest. Must turn things around.
