THE William Hill 6 furlongs Class 2 AYR Gold Cup (3.50) on Saturday has a plethora of leading contenders to bag the winner’s purse in the £200,000 race.
Gulliver, fromthehorsesmouth.tips each-way selection, trained by David O’Meara, has been slashed from 33-1 to 12-1 just days before the race – with money continuing to pile on!
Five year old Gulliver – one of a handful of runners from York based O’Meara’s stables – was noted last Sunday, when a fast finishing third behind Buffer Zone (7-1 Ayr Gold Cup favourite) at The Curragh, also tipped each-way by fromthehorsesmouth.tips.
Top weight Mr Lupton (25-1) trained by Malton based Richard Fahey, winner of a Group 2 race at the Curragh in May, drops back into Handicap company.
“Mr Lupton has carried a Group 2 penalty in most races this season, and raced in Group 1 company – but he is not a Group One horse,” said honest Fahey.
Fahey, bidding to win the Ayr Gold Cup for a third time, after successes in 2006 and 2015, said: “Mr Lupton returns back into handicap company – let’s see what happens.
“We are hopeful he can run well – at this level. Mr Lupton loves coming off a fast pace.”
