Ayr Poet
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far.

From the connections
“Ayr Poet was super and took me the full way. I just sat there and he did his job. I thought coming to the two-furlong pole that he's travelling very well and then I thought today might be the day for that first winner. Jim said let him jump and sit handy and if not, don't panic and he'd be good for me. There's no racing in my family at all and I'm continuing as an amateur as I'm a bit heavy for an apprentice licence, but Jim's been so generous in helping young people like me progress - Megan Davies, jockey, speaking to Racing TV.”
“I thought we had it on the line but we did it the tough way. Ayr Poet knows where the winning post is here. He's a good doer and is from a family we've done well with here, as he's the fourth winner out of his dam, with Euchen Glen and Sir Chauvelin both running this week too - Jim Goldie, trainer.”
