Nice run when 3rd last run at Ayr. Jack Nicholls and Iain Jardine must be respected when they team up. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Definite claims for punters.

At $17.00 finished 5th last run here but was a debutant last start. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Won't find this easy.
