Ayr Race 1 - Ben Arthur's Bothy Of Arrochar Ebf 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
KING KUBALA (4) Back after a spell of 32 weeks. Was strong to the line when winning by a margin of 13L last start at Kelso. Likely to be well placed early. Big chance. MAJOR DOMO (7) Resuming after a break of 33 weeks. Dominant winner by 4 3/4L last run in a hurdle at Carlisle. Will be positive in the run early. Suited. BATTLE OF ARSUF (6) First start at the races 4yo by Walkinthepark for trainer D Mccain (Jnr). Market as guide. JACKSON COURT (3) Court Cave 5yo having first race start for trainer Nick Alexander. Large claim helps. Betting is the best guide.
