Bamby has the legs to take Trophy

NEWMARKET handler Richard Spencer has captured the Ladbrokes 'Free Bet at Ayr' Handicap over a mile at the Scottish track twice in the past four years, which leads me to believe SEX ON FIRE (1.15) has been laid out for the race. A winner at Haydock Park in April off a perch of 82, he is primed to play a leading role racing off a mark of 86. RAGE OF BAMBY (1.30) showed her liking for the course when scoring at Newbury in July, so the mare will carry my each-way wonga at around the 8-1 mark in the Dubai International Airport World Trophy Stakes over five furlongs at the Berkshire venue.

She likes plenty of cut in the terrain, so don't worry about any David Gowers which land on the track.

We have not sighted ALMERIC (1.50) since he obliged at the Craven meeting at Newmarket in April, as Andrew Balding has been waiting to run Kirsten Rausing's son of Study Of Man on easy ground. The fact he sends the exciting three-year-old on the long haul from Hampshire to the west of Scotland to contest the Listed Ladbrokes 'Big Football Bet Builder Boosts' Doonside Cup over ten furlongs is a very strong steer.

William Haggas has been cleaning up in races like the Dubai Duty Free Autumn Cup Handicap over an extended mile and five furlongs at Newbury for the past month, and CASTLE COVE (2.05) makes plenty of appeal racing on his favoured easy surface.
