Pavershooz can land at Ayr

All eyes will surely be on Look Busy as she drops back to this level from Pattern-race company and while she is the undoubted class act, she will have to concede weight all round. The selection will be getting well over a stone from the top weight and Noel Wilson’s runner certainly has plenty of ability himself, as his recent Gosforth Park Cup win showed.

The four-year-old came home a neck winner of the ultra-competitive heat at Newcastle, following on from his victory in the Scottish Sprint Cup Stakes.

Pavershooz has jumped 8lb up the ratings from that Musselburgh win, with a recent second at York demonstrating just how consistent this handicapper is. He may well lack a little of the brilliance of one or two of his rivals here, but Pavershooz is on a roll and rates the value option while in such good heart.

Finsbury had to give best to Argentine when the pair crossed swords at Hamilton in early June but he can reverse the form in the Intechnology Services Handicap.

Argentine has been a real success story this season, winning four times, while Finsbury has looked in danger of becoming an underachiever for Jim Goldie.

However, his third at Hamilton showed some signs of a revival, being beaten two and a quarter lengths.

Finsbury is much better off at the weights this time and it is interesting to see Goldie book smart 5lb claimer Jamie Kyne to get a little extra off the gelding’s back. Kyne wants for nothing in a finish and if Finsbury is equal to the task, they should go well.

Olynard was not beaten far over the minimum trip at Windsor last time and can go a couple of places better in the Animal Health Trust Handicap back at that venue.

Beaten just under four lengths in third, Olynard did not get the best of runs but finished well when he did find a gap. Ralph Beckett’s charge has not seen that much racing and making just his eighth career start here, there could be more to come.

First-time blinkers seemed to help Defector at Southwell last time and hopefully the headgear will do its job again in the George Smith ‘‘Lifetime In Racing’’ Handicap at Yarmouth. He had looked a tricky customer but trainer Willie Muir’s decision to apply the blinkers looked like paying off until Defector was just edged out by a head in the shadow of the post.

Muir endured a slow start to the season but his yard seems to be coming into form now and Defector can add to the winning tally.

Select Committee can make the most of his favourable draw in the Carl Skelton Happy Birthday Handicap at Beverley. A high draw is almost essential for sprints on the Westwood and with John Quinn’s charge having bagged an excellent stall, he has a good opportunity to add to single career win.

■ Top trainers Barry Hills, John Gosden, Mick Channon and Jeremy Noseda are among those sending horses to the first Flat meeting at Ffos Las on tomorrow.

A total of 63 horses were declared at the 48-hour final stage for the first Flat meeting at the Carmarthenshire track which opened for jump racing last month.

Hills, the leading trainer at Royal Ascot last month, is set to have four runners on the card beginning with Our Dream Queen in the opening EBF/Jamie Yeates Memorial Maiden Stakes.

The Lambourn maestro is represented in the feature 1st Signs & Graphic Fillies’ Handicap by Onemix. A six-strong field for the mile-and-a quarter contest also includes the Brian Meehan-trained Classic Legend and Charity Belle from the Gosden stable.

Llancarfan trainer Evan Williams, who won the first race staged at Ffos Las with Plunkett, has two runners – Dantari in the Natural UK Handicap and Enlightenment in the concluding EPS Handicap.

The going is officially described as good.
