He arrives in peak condition, having won three races in a row between the flags this spring. His latest victory at Dalton Park in March showed he has both the stamina and the speed required for this trip. Unlike many point-to-pointers, he has already proven he can hack it under Rules. He finished a very impressive 2nd at this track last May, beaten only by Barton Snow, a horse that's gone on to complete the Foxhunters double at Cheltenham and Aintree. Owned and trained by Dale Peters, who also takes the ride today. Peters has a clinical strike rate in these hunter chase events. The good ground at Stratford is ideal. He is a slick jumper who appreciates a sound surface to show off his turn of foot.

Won a Class 4 handicap at Newcastle in January and followed it up with a professional win at Bangor in late February. Despite those two wins, the handicapper has been relatively kind to her, and she could still be significantly ahead of her current mark, especially as she steps up to a longer trip. Today’s race is over 3 miles and 70 yards. This is a step up in distance, but her pedigree and racing style suggest she will thrive on it.

Captain Hugo was the impressive winner of the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso in late February. That is a prestigious handicap, and the way he travelled and pulled clear suggested he was a horse well ahead of his handicap mark. Even with a 6 lb rise in the weights today, it's easy to believe he is still well in. He has won three of his five starts over hurdles this season. He is a young, improving six-year-old who hasn't yet found his ceiling.

Earlier this season at Newbury, he won a competitive handicap by 15 lengths, a performance so dominant it saw him supplemented for the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. He finished 8th in the Champion Hurdle behind Lossiemouth. However, that run can be completely written off. A bad start cost him any chance that day, and he was not given a hard race once it was clear he wouldn't place

Big John Wayne arrives in peak form. He won his most recent start at Hexham (March 25), staying on strongly to win a Class 4. The handicapper has only raised him 3lb for that win, which is pretty lenient, to his current mark of 119. Today’s race is over 3 miles, and this is expected to be the key to unlocking more improvement. In his previous races over shorter distances (2m 4f), he often looked outpaced early on before staying on at the finish. He is a Point-to-Point winner over 3 miles, and his pedigree (by Shantou) suggests he will be much more comfortable with this longer test of endurance on Ayr’s galloping track.

Makes her debut for the powerhouse Irish trainer Gavin Cromwell today. She was purchased for €320,000 in November after showing high-class form in France. Gavin Cromwell won this exact race last year. He clearly knows the type of horse required to travel across the Irish Sea and take this prize. Her French form is excellent, including a dominant 12-length victory at Auteuil in October. She is a 5-year-old mare who appears to be on an upward trajectory. The ground is perfect for her; her best French form is on heavy and very soft ground.

He was on a tear late last year, winning back-to-back handicaps at Chepstow and Warwick. He finished a somewhat disappointing 6th of 8 at Exeter 26 days ago. That was his first run after a five-month break, so he may have just needed the run to get his fitness back. He should come on plenty for that and holds decent claims coming into this.

Looked sharp in his seasonal reappearance at Kempton on March 28, finishing a solid 3rd out of 11. He finished 2nd in this exact race last year and is actually running off a 2 lb lower mark today. This suggests he is well handicapped and potentially able to put in a big performance today. He’s a consistent performer at this level (Class 3/4) and has shown a liking for the spring conditions.

By Teofilo out of a Dubawi mare, he is bred to stay all day. While he has been effective over 1m 6f, I'd expect 2 miles is actually his optimum trip. He often looks like he’s just getting going when the race is ending. Pole Star is a hardened, battle-tested stayer who has won on soft and good ground alike, so should be handling the conditions. He has been gelded since his last run (a disappointing effort in the Cesarewitch), but Charlie Johnston surely hasn't sent him this far if he was lacking fitness.

Trainer Dan Skelton has an incredible record in this specific race, winning 5 of the last 8 renewals. He clearly knows exactly what type of horse is required to win the Hillhouse Quarry. Hoe Joly Smoke has been competing in high-quality premier handicaps, including a third-place finish in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham back in November. Today's Class 2 event is slightly less demanding. This is his first run since undergoing a breathing operation. If his recent fading at the end of races was due to a wind issue, the surgery could unlock significant improvement today. The yard continue in super form, and he should get a decent pace to aim at.

His recent form is pretty solid. His last four results read 3-2-1-2, showing he is pretty reliable to run his race. He has shown some of his best form on soft ground, so the going at Ayr should be ideal for him. He drops slightly back in trip from his last run at Chepstow (2m 3f). The 2m 110y distance today should play to his strengths, allowing him to stay on strongly at the end, especially if there's a strong pace.
