All was doom and gloom when heavy rain put paid to Ayr’s Western Meeting 12 months ago but with the forecast looking considerably more amiable this time around the Scottish trainers and raiders from South of the Border can, hopefully, look forward to three days of hot competition and fun at the courses most important fixture.
Iain Jardine looks likely to have strong representation at the Meeting, at which he scored with Now Children in 2016, and Yes You, Alemaratalyoum, Mayleaf Sunshine, Marble Lee, Sepal and Tor could be joined by the very promising two-year-old Must See The Doc who could return to action in the two-year-old novice event on Friday.
The Carrutherstown trainer is slightly behind his schedule of last year which netted 52 winners after suffering with seconditis (39 runner-up spots) but he remains ever optimistic that he will get a few photographs in his favour in the next few months.
Jardine kindly spoke to Tony Elves of ATR about those he hopes can give a good account of themselves at the Western Meeting and beyond.
