Verdict
Afta Party finished second over 7f at Ayr but earlier attempts over today’s trip were less than convincing and a chance is taken on BORA BORA. The latter debuts for a new yard and makes his handicap debut having placed at Dundalk when last in action. Eloso won at Dundalk when trained in Ireland while Mercurius Power scored twice last season but was well beaten on his reappearance and first start after wind surgery.
