14:40 Ayr It's often a neglected factor when looking to pick a horse but a jockey's relationship with their equine counterpart can be a very telling factor and shouldn't be readily ignored. The fact that we find former Champion Jockey Paul Hanagan climbing into the saddle to ride Firsteen. The jockey and horse combination have produced two seconds and a win in just three times they've teamed up. The horse, although never claiming a course success, has produced solid performances at this venue before. Perhaps a little more weight than would be ideal but at the age of four there's room for improvement and she looks very overpriced at 16/1.

Perhaps it's safe to say that Strong Steps isn't in the form of his life but if he's anywhere near his best could play a part in this. He has a very encouraging record over course and distance at this level. Trainer Jim Goldie has seen a couple of his horses enter the winners enclosure over the past few weeks and bookies seem to be ridiculously generous with odds of 33/1. STRONG STEPS (E/W)
