The form of GENTLEMAN DE MAI's Ayr chase debut second has been boosted a few times since so he's taken to go one better with improvement on cards. Last-time-out scorers Not Sure, Hotel du Nord and Tango Boy head the many dangers. It would also be no surprise to see Rowdy Rustler bounce back to form with the Lucinda Russell stable going so well.
