Fergie & Myra Happel Ayr Gold Cup Trial Handicap Stakes

Veblen Good heads our ratings in this nine-runner field on the strength of a win three starts back, and a solid third last time out. Nineteen days since that run, and already having raced over today's trip and going, he looks to have taken well to this grade and rates the one to beat, even with a below-form effort sandwiched in between.

Lord Roxby can point to a win three starts back as the peak of a mixed campaign, with a fourth and a fifth-placed effort among his other recent starts. Nineteen days on, and with today's trip and going already banked, he sits third of nine on our figures and remains capable of better on his day.

Gentle George's form has been mixed this term, but a win five starts back shows the engine is there when it clicks. Fresh nine days ago, and with today's trip and going already in the book, he's fourth of nine on our figures and open to more if he rediscovers that level.

Jordan Electrics is second only to our selection on figures, with a third last time out the highlight of a steady sequence without a win. A rapid turnaround of just three days since his last run, and with today's trip and going already in the book, he rates the biggest threat to the top-rated runner in this field.

Azure Zain's form is patchy, but a win two starts back, and a third five starts back, show he retains ability at this level. A month since his latest run, and with today's trip and going already in the book, he sits mid-pack on our figures in this nine-runner race.
