Ayr Race 3 - Abbott Risk Consulting Ltd Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
LIRION (5) Close to claiming the win last time at this venue. Jockey Sean Bowen and trainer Olly Murphy are a strong team. Looks promising in this race. BOHEMOND ANTIOCH (1) First up after 16 weeks and tidy effort when 2nd first up last preparation in a hurdle at Bangor. Should come to hand quickly. Strong chance. DROPEMATTHESTATION (2) Nice run when 3rd last run in a hurdle at Doncaster but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Will be there at the finish. GREEN ANGEL (3) Fresh today after a break. Was getting tired late when 4th last time in a hurdle at Ayr but back to a shorter trip. Should muster plenty of early speed. Serious player.

Right in the mix last time at the track. Sean Bowen and Olly Murphy are a duo to watch closely. Strong claims in this.

Odds of $51.00 and came in 4th last start in a hurdle at Ludlow. Likely to settle back in the field. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

Jumped at $6.00 and performed below standard when 9th last time in a hurdle at Carlisle but dropping weight. Jockey Harry Cobden is a strong choice aboard. Will not be far away.
