SUN HILL can build on an eye-catching run at Thirsk last time to lift the Signsafe Traffic Handicap (Div I) (4.10) at Ayr.
Mick and David Easterby’s son of Dabirsim failed to trouble the judge on his first starts in novice stakes at Ayr, York and Nottingham. The handicapper gave Sun Hill a mark of 59 as a result, and there was enough on the three-year-old’s debut in the sphere in James Herriot country 20 days ago to make him of interest here.
Ridden as today by Jo Mason, my selection took a keen hold at the back of the field before being asked to improve with three furlongs of the mile remaining.
