Eternal sun to shine brightest at Ayr

Eternal Sunshine can continue an excellent run with victory in division two of the 1000m Brandinghub For Signs & Graphics Handicap at Ayr on Thursday.

The Jim Goldie-trained filly has been the model of consistency throughout the summer, placing first or second in her past six runs with two wins at Ayr in amongst her efforts.

She has stepped back down to 1000m of late after a handful of successful runs over 1200m and seems to be equally effective over both, making her the one to watch for an in-form stable.

Jorge Alvares can get off the mark in division one of the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes.

Trained by Kevin Ryan, the son of Cotai Glory has run four times and has been in the picture each time.

His most recent effort was in the highly competitive and valuable Goffs Premier Yearling Stakes at York, where he was the fourth-placed horse when beaten 1.25-lengths at 18-1.

Now stepping up to 1400m for the first time, he can build on the promise shown on the Knavesmire to claim a first career success. Catalyse, not seen since the Coventry at Royal Ascot, is the danger on his return.

Another consistent sort is Michael Dods' Pol Roger, who can prevail in the Livescore Bet Kilkerran Handicap over 2000m.

The gelding hit a real run of form when never coming home out of the top two in six runs from May to August, with a step up in trip to 2400m seeing him beaten into third place last time out at Thirsk.

Now back at 2000m he should take a bit of beating under Connor Beasley.

At Pontefract, Times Edition can shine in the Nadeen Dawson Memorial Maiden Stakes for Roger Varian and Silvestre de Sousa.

The Kingman filly has been making progress this season, placing second in her last two runs having gradually learnt to settle.

She was denied by only a short head last time at Ffos Las and De Sousa hopefully has the key to her now.

At Yarmouth it is Cool Legend who can prove his stamina in the Moulton Nurseries Handicap over 2800m.

Trained by William Haggas and ridden by Tom Marquand, the grey was tried over the extended distance for the first time at Thirsk on his most recent run and crossed the line in front only to be demoted due to interference.

His liking for the trip was proven, however, despite the rider dropping his whip, and he should make amends. - Press Association
