The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Ginger Mail KTB Selection69/100

   Form 3P30P- · N. W. Alexander · Bruce Lynn

   Ginger Mail is a smart performer who has won twice at Ayr from ten runs and holds a solid record at this trip with three wins from 21 attempts. He has shown mixed form of late with a win and two places from seven runs on good to soft ground but arrives here on the back of a poor sequence. First-time headgear is now fitted while both trainer and jockey record above their usual strike rates at the track. The 10-year-old drops in class from an official rating of 106 and his recent form reads 3P30P-. Typically settling in midfield, he could be well placed to pick up the pieces if the lone leader tires.

2. 2Inappropriate67/100

   Form 52-614 · Ewan Whillans · Sean Quinlan

   Inappropriate is a smart performer who has won at this track from three runs and brings solid recent form including a win on his latest start. He steps up in trip today having already won three times at this distance though his record on good to soft is modest with just one win from seven runs. The yard and jockey both have established records at Ayr that sit in line with their overall figures. Rated 111, the 5-year-old showed progressive form last term with figures of 52-614 and should settle in midfield. His course win adds to his appeal in a race where track knowledge may count for plenty.

3. 3Vampire Slayer65/100

   Form 51132- · Daragh Bourke · Callum Bewley

   Vampire Slayer is a smart performer who has been a regular at Ayr and placed three times here without winning. Steps up in trip today having won once from three starts at this distance and with a win and two places from four runs on good to soft ground. Trainer and jockey both operate at in-line-with-their-norm strike rates at the track. Stepping up in class from an OR of 108, his recent form of 51132- suggests he remains in good heart. Likely to race prominently, he could apply pressure to the leader and his placed course record makes him a major player.

4. 4Jolyjump59/100

   Form 2/48-9 · R. Mike Smith · Ben Smith(7)

   Jolyjump is a useful performer who has shown enough on ratings and in recent placed efforts to remain competitive at this level. Drops back to a trip he has won at twice from seven starts while the yard's 8% strike rate at Ayr sits above their record elsewhere. Jockey is operating at a 10% strike rate here which matches his overall figure. Stepping up in class from an OR of 95 with recent form of 2/48-9, he should settle in midfield. The 7-year-old lacks course form but his placed efforts on good to soft suggest he can be involved.

5. 5She's Notjoeking58/100

   Form 4132-1 · Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore · Derek Fox

   She's Notjoeking is a useful performer who arrives in solid form after a recent win and has placed both times she's run at Ayr.

With recent form of 4132-1 from an OR of 103, the 6-year-old is the one likely to make the running. Her placed course record and proven stamina at the distance make her a dangerous front-runner in a race with a lone leader shape.

   Form 443436 · Lisa Harrison · Peter Kavanagh
