Verdict

TRUE PLEASURE had looked in the handicapper's grip before her latest start at Ayr but was sent off favourite and duly obliged. She's upped 5lb but today's opposition will not take much beating and James Bethell's mare can go in again. Celtic Sixpence won at Nottingham in April but has been well beaten in a couple of subsequent outings while Graceful Act has struggled to get involved off higher marks since winning at Newcastle. The remainder arrive in poor form and are even harder to fancy.
