The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Ghost Story KTB Selection55/100

   Form 334344 · John Butler · Mason Paetel

   Modest performer with a solid recent run of placed efforts in similar company. Drops back to a trip he has won over twice from seven attempts though he is unproven on heavy ground and makes his first visit to Ayr. Trainer has a respectable 15% strike rate here from 13 runs while the jockey has no recorded rides at the track.

2. 2Royal Blaze54/100

   Form 839110 · Ewan Whillans · William Pyle

   Modest performer who has won three times at Ayr from seven runs and also has a solid record at this trip with four wins from 13 attempts. Recent form includes two victories in the last six starts but he has never tried heavy ground so that remains an unknown. Trainer and jockey both operate at a 10% strike rate here with figures close to expectations.

3. 3Idyllic53/100

   Form 540364 · Wilf Storey · Alex Jary

   Idyllic is a limited performer who has been a regular at this track without winning, posting placings on three of his four visits to Ayr. He has won over today's trip in the past but showed little spark on his only heavy-ground start and looks vulnerable from stall 9 in a race where stronger types are likely to be involved. The trainer's modest record here is offset by the jockey's solid 16% strike-rate at the course.

4. 4Naturalia51/100

   Form 244184 · Donald Whillans · Shay Farmer(3)

   Modest performer who has won twice at Ayr from five runs and also has a win at today's trip. Recent form is mixed but she did win at this track in August before two lesser efforts. Trainer has a solid 15% strike rate here from a big sample while the jockey is operating at 13%.

5. 5Spanish Hustle49/100

   Form 665527 · Jim Goldie · Amie Waugh

   Modest performer who has been on the go for a long time and has shown very little spark this year. He has run four times at Ayr without placing and is now 0-17 on turf since 2022. Drops back from 1m4f to a trip he has failed to win at in six previous attempts, though he does handle heavy ground.

6. 6West Tyrone49/100

   Form -80317 · Lizzie Quinlan · Cian Horgan(3)
