Ayr Race 1

Play Coral 'Racing-Super-Series' Ebf Junior 'National Hunt' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Stake: $18,930

A small-field hurdle contest. Gordon Elliott trains HARDY STUFF (2) who has not figured so far this campaign. Did improve running 5.5L fourth in a maiden hurdle tackling 3319m at Punchestown after being pulled up fresh at Cork. Finds a suitable race and may bounce back in view of stable record at this venue. MARVEL MAGIC (3) was favourite on debut tackling the flat at Newcastle AW finishing fourth over 3400m. Might feature now switching to jumping. CAPTAIN CONNOR (1) pushed forward as a newcomer and stayed on running 8L third in a flat race attempting 3200m at Huntingdon. Impossible to discount.

Comments

At debut, ran on from midfield; finished third of 9 runners at Huntingdon on November 22 over 3200m, 8 len behind Westbrooke Boy with 71kg at $15. Not an appealing prospect despite a scarcity of opponents.

Had two starts to date. At debut, pulled up at Cork on October 12 over 3520m. Second-up finished fourth of 13 runners at Punchestown on November 22 over 3319m, 5.5 len behind Quinta Do Lago carrying 70kg at $13. Progressing well this campaign. Expect he will prove hard to beat.

Is second-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily finished fourth of 8 runners at Newcastle All Weather on November 14 over 3400m, 4.5 len behind Majordomo carrying 71kg at $3. Fitter for run. Sure to be competitive with so few opponents.
