WILLIAM HILL AYR GOLD CUP (HERITAGE HANDICAP) (CLASS 2)

Have gone with the Cheka (20s betfair) to win the Ayr gold cup - really do like this horse -will stay the distance well and can handle the conditions  its last run over 7flngs at Goodwood convinces me it has the profile of the past winners - had been placed in the Grade 1 July Cup and Prix Maurice de Gheest on his last two starts and was back over 7f for the first time this year. Setting his own pace, he looked in command at the furlong pole but the winner gunned him down. He was there to be shot at in front after nothing else wanted to go on. This was a solid effort and has the pace to run alongside Our Jonathan from the middle of the track. 
This race is an exciting lottery but not so much of a lottery as is made out -
