ANOTHER big weekend for those of you, who like me, love playing in the massive field handicaps, with the big West of Scotland meeting at Ayr taking pride of place alongside a cracking card at Newbury.
Most of the bookmakers in shop and online are sure to be offering tempting each-way terms for the Ayr Gold Cup (3.40) and its sister race, the Silver Cup at 2.30, so it is worth shopping around for the very best offers on the high street.
The main event has a full field of 25 set to go to post with dual Goodwood Steward’s Cup winner, Commanche Falls, bidding to land yet another big handicap pot off the elevated mark of 109.
