15:30 Ayr — Race Preview & Tips

We're tipping Donnacha in the 15:30 at Ayr — a Chase race with 9 runners on Good going.

A look at the form — 3411-3221 — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.

Nigel Hawke has been in fine form and teams up with James Davies, a combination that demands respect.

These conditions — Good ground over — look tailor-made for the selection.

Key angle: Won last time out.

An official mark of 137 looks workable in this grade.

For each-way purposes, Califet En Vol merits consideration as a place alternative.
