Trend Buster Alert!
After Rule the World beautifully smashed apart some trends last weekend @ 50's :triumphant: I'm feeling another less obvious big winner this weekend from across the emerald Sea….
Fine Rightly for Stuart Crawford and Andrew Lynch. Loves deep ground so any more rain turning up at Ayr will be fine. Reminds me very much of Rule the World (who he beat in March 2015 off level weights) in that the horse has a huge engine but not many gears. He's wonderfully reliable and a good jumper (never failed to complete).
His form this year looks fantastic having beaten My Murphy (subsequent Thyestes winner) off level weights and a keeping on 4th to Empire of Dirt over a short enough 2 1/2 miles giving the winner 21lbs!!! A 3rd in the Irish Gold Cup and recent Grade 3 win on the bridle for which he's been put up just 2lbs suggests his 11-8 might not be enough to stop his class shining through. Has previously won over 3m2f so good chance of getting the trip. Haven't seen a 25-1+ shot I'm been so keen on since RTW last weekend!![]()
Royale knight 14-1 looks interesting Brendan Powell on top and trainer operating at 63% and I'm in the Kerry Lee camp with ista so I will cover goodtoknow aswell at a big price.
Good case Lessey. I am not worried about the Irish trained stat but weight on this course a concern for me.
All interests at Ayr for me tomorrow:
2.25 Bristol De Mai - may have a decent plunge on this, is clearly the class act and a long way clear of these for me
3.00 Sternrubin e/w, Hobbs had Wait for Me entered for this too (cost me a few quid on the ante post market !) so the fact he's pulled that one out and gone with this one is notable for me
3.35 Solar Impulse, won a very competitive Chelt race quite comfortably and could have more to come
4.10 Golden Chieftan and Folson Blue e/w, small cover on Goodtoknow
5.50 Mere Ironmonger e/w - won debut at a big price and probably surprised connections, will improve for the experience and this race no tougher
Good luck all

I agree with the weight concern but that's reflected in his price. I guess I'm banking on his class to keep him in the mix. If Cause of Causes is 12s carrying top weight, then 28s about Fine Rightly is a steal carrying 4lbs less

Can't argue with that isty, you da man at the minute though
I'm told Giant Spark is expected to go close in the first at Thirsk, it's being backed too
