Birra Poretti Handicap (Div II)

Faded into 3l fifth of nine on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham last month and this headstrong sort also looked stretched by 1m at Thirsk last time; the return to 7f looks the right move for this lightly raced 4yo, who is a possible player.

Not at the top of his game this season but hasn't run badly over 6f on his last two starts and he's possibly better at 7f; he's dropped down the weights and could have a big part to play.

Down the field over about 1m at Musselburgh and Hamilton on his two starts this season; however, his sole win came over this C&D last August and it's possible the return to Ayr and drop back to 7f will trigger a revival.

Some good form this spring prior to winning at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; flopped at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago but he shouldn't be written off today.

0-15 since winning his first three starts; however, he went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) two starts ago despite trouble in running and was again denied a clear run when sixth there (7f, good) last time; could be in the mix if getting the breaks.
