Race Tip

The two-day Ayr Scottish Grand National Weekend begins with a competitive handicap hurdle. Irish runner SECRET FORCE (7) won tackling this trip three runs back at Punchestown on jumping debut and now drops in grade following a 3L fourth in the 2m Listed Scottish Triumph Juvenile Hurdle at Musselburgh. Leading chance. CASTLE IVERS (1) found success by 0. 5L attempting a 2m maiden hurdle at Warwick November 2024. Shortlist following the absence. NEWTOWN RAMBLER (8) scored by 1. 5L contesting a lower graded handicap hurdle at Warwick over the distance six weeks ago. Makes appeal. MAGNA VICTOR (5) bids for a hat-trick after a pair of handicap hurdle wins at Musselburgh. Might feature.
