A good prize, and that hasn't gone unnoticed by the majority of Northern and Scottish based trainers. Jim Goldie is no stranger to a winner at Ayr and he saddles the 2017 victor NICHOLAS T who emerged from a spell in the wilderness with a much improved effort in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar latest. His amenable trainer will likely have him cherry-ripe for this valuable contest, so he rates as the tentative selection with others such as Kings Gift and Third Time Lucky also massively respected on their very strongest career formlines.
