Going For Fun At Ayr

The Guvnor is in flying form right now, operating at a 41% strike rate in the past 12 days and showing a profit of over 24 points in September. Confidence is high, and today’s Nap looks well-placed to keep the winners flowing.

The vote goes firmly to Quest For Fun in Ayr’s extended 7f handicap (15:30). He’s a proven course performer and shaped like a winner in waiting when runner-up over this very trip just ten days ago. That effort can easily be marked up: he was held up further back than ideal in a steadily-run race, yet still closed strongly to finish second, pulling three and a half lengths clear of the third.

The handicapper has only raised him 1 lb for that run, which leaves him still 7 lb below his highest winning mark. That makes him look well handicapped, and with conditions to suit, everything points to a bold showing. Adding further confidence is the form of his trainer, Tim Easterby, who has fired in 9 winners in the last 14 days — another sign that the stable is in rude health.

Redarna, a standing dish at Ayr with three wins in this very race, deserves respect for his superb record around here. But even his course prowess may not be enough to deny Quest For Fun, who looks primed to go one better under these circumstances.
