Other big priced pick at Ayr on Friday, March 1
Shearer can score for Paul Nicholls in the 13.45. The six-year-old is in good form for the McNeill family. The horse is named after the famous Newcastle and England striker and don't forget to read Planet Sport's article on horses named after legendary footy players.
In the 16.05, Sandy Thomson is at home at Ayr and his Flower Of Scotland would be a fitting winner with jumps racing's eyes cast North of the border. A general 12/1 looks a tasty price.
