WITH winners at 33-1, 25-1 and 40-1 since 2014, the Scottish Nash is one to go wild in.
But I’m looking to trump those with a 50-1 poke up at Ayr on Saturday.
MORNEY WING is racing out of the handicap, but looks mighty interesting back up to four miles.
Bookies give him no chance, but at the current odds he’s worthy of an each-way poke following his eyecatching run in the Eider at Newcastle.
He’s been beat at Plumpton since, but ran okay – in unfavourable conditions over a trip far too short – behind a Kim Bailey horse that was punted off the boards.
That would have set him up nicely for this and the ground is likely to suit Charlie Mann’s ten-year-old more than most in the race.
Not many from the 28 declared can say they’ve had a win on Good to Firm ground.
I think this horse still has a bit of improvement in him. In his last six runs, he’s improved from a 101-rated chaser to 130.
He races 4lbs out of the handicap here, but with 10’0 on his back and Rex Dingle taking a further five off, he effectively races off 9’9 here.
Dingle has ridden as low as 9’7 in the past year – although as a growing lad he may be cutting it fine come 3.35 on Saturday.

Towards the top of the market I can’t have Big River in conditions while Beware The Bear has to give close to a stone to Vintage Clouds.
Dingo Dollar has not kicked on from his third in the Hennessy and again conditions are not likely be up his street.
Crosshue Boy, the Irish horse that has seen plenty of money in the build up and won at this meeting last year, is the most interesting at shorter odds in my book.
