Hammer to hit the mark at Ayr

FORM: RYAN’'S CHARGE CAN IMPROVE ON HIS FOURTH PLACE ON DEBUT AT DONCASTER

Calumet to strike a winning note at Windsor.

With Royal Ascot runner Motawahij a notable absentee, Hammer The Hammer is expected to strike gold in the Irish EBF Maiden Stakes at Ayr today.

Trainer Kevin Ryan has an excellent record with two-year-olds and this son of Coulsty shaped with plenty of promise when fourth on his introduction over 1200m at Doncaster recently.

That form looks strong, with the Cheveley Park-owned winner Chancellor appearing a particularly exciting colt, while the third placed Mission Command has since bolted up at Ripon.

Given the early speed he showed on Town Moor, a drop back to 1000m should not be an issue for Hammer The Hammer in Scotland and he is difficult to oppose.
