Ruth Jefferson-trained mare Hashtag Boum is after more Ayr prize money in the £15,000 feature race.
The Malton raider, ridden by Brian Hughes, faces three rivals in the racingtv.com/freetrial Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase over 2m 4f.
“She did it well over course and distance earlier this month and the extra weight this time is fair enough I suppose,” Jefferson said. “It’s another nice prize to aim for and Brian gets on well with her so fingers crossed she’ll go well again.”
Duffle Coat, one of two runners on the card for Gordon Elliott, is the only non-mare in the line-up and is partnered by rising Irish star Sam Ewing, who had his first success at Ayr yesterday aboard Undeniable Alibi.
