14:45 Limerick – Howling Wolf

HOWLING WOLF was well backed here at Limerick over 6-and-a-half furlongs two starts ago, but went off too hard and had nothing left in the closing stages of the race. Last time at the Curragh, over 7 furlong, he was held up and finished with a rattle to be beaten less than 3 lengths in fifth place, after being a 40/1 in the 26 runner handicap.

The James Barrett-trained gelding hasn’t won since he beat Santiago on his second ever start in a Leopardstown maiden, when trained by Tony Mullins, back in July 2019. He does run off the same mark as he did at the Curragh, but Luke McAteer in the saddle takes a valuable 5lbs off him and that puts him bang in contention.

15:13 Ayr – Summa Peto

SUMMA PETO was a close second in two small field maidens here last year before finding Listed level in the Britannia Stakes at Ascot too much. But, Keith Dalgleish’s colt bolted up here on his reappearance over a mile back in April and followed up on handicap debut at Wolverhampton off a rating of 83 in a really fast time. That marked him out as a horse that could rate quite highly.

He got 9lbs the Britannia, but found that contest way too hot. Dalgleish ran two in that race and the other, Gioia Cieca, was well beaten also. But, he won the other day at Musselburgh and that leads me to believe Summa Peto can do something similar here.
