Pundit pick: Kelpie Grey

Kelpie Grey is our selection at Ayr over six furlongs, heading our figures on a rating of 76. Mr Cool is only two pounds behind on 74 and the main danger, with Water Of Leith and Falcon Queen also holding claims in this competitive contest. It's a narrow verdict, in keeping with our medium confidence, but Kelpie Grey's slight edge on these figures makes it the selection.
