Very testing ground at most of the race meetings today.  So a bit of caution in having a bet.  At Ayr the booking of decent 5lb claimer could make the difference to the chance of River Icon 2.15.  She has been running well on the flat of late, the heavy ground will make this a real slog, this mare stays well, and would be my choice here. The remainder of the card looks very difficult, hopefully the current dry weather at the track will stay, and not make the going any softer. She’s  A Rocco has been well backed in the last race, a bumper.  Her trainer likes to have winners at this track, so any more market support is eye catching.  At Bangor, already one race is over.  Augusta Gold is short odds to win the 1.15, Ailsa Mix is a real threat in this Novice Chase, for mares only, Augusta Gold has had a run this season, so that may well edge it for her.
