Verdict

Ayr Of Elegance owes connections nothing but she may be feeling her age a little nowadays. Tibbie Dunbar has only won once over hurdles but she has won twice on the Flat since that sole success. MAGICAL MAGGIE gets on well with Jay Tidball, who guided her to success on her handicap debut at Cartmel. Only raised 2lb for that, she can give the weight away to the equally in-form Komedy Kicks.
