A winner last time out, Royal Blaze had been ninth two starts back, and third three starts back. Our 63 rating has him near the head of this field and he has run over today's trip and going before, though the patchy recent form is the obvious risk.

Royal Blaze (SR:65, 7/2) is the highest-rated horse in this Class 6 field and carries 9-9 — not a burden that should blunt its ability advantage here. The Course:W2P2 record at Ayr is directly relevant, DistFit:+ confirms proven ability at this trip, and a 14% market move inward is meaningful money arriving in a thin-class contest. The headgear (tp) is unchanged from recent runs, suggesting this is a stable and consistent configuration. Jockey Greg Fairley has a modest 2% career strike rate which is the one credible concern, but the SR lead, course record, distance fit, and strong market support collectively outweigh that reservation.
Each-way alternative: Recobella.
Main danger: Falcon Nine — Falcon Nine (SR:63, 4/1) is the Iain Jardine stable's likely #1 with Kieran Shoemark booked — a 12% career strike rate jockey far superior to the stablemate's claimer — and has steamed in 17% in the market; the DistFit:- flag is the key concern but the market clearly isn't deterred.
