ALL eyes will be on the straight track at Ayr this afternoon with the Ayr Gold Cup (3.35) and the consolation Silver Cup (2.25) the main features of the three-day meeting as the sprinters fly down the six-furlong track.

Unlike most years at the track the West of Scotland area has been bright and dry and that seems highly likely to produce ground just on the fast side of good, going that many of the connections with entry would not have been expecting.

I tipped up Mostabshir to land the Stewards Cup last time out, and this talented charge kept on strongly in the closing stages following a somewhat ragged start to finish, a never nearer one-and-three-quarter-length fourth of 25 behind Get In.
