Overview

• Run Boy Run landed Scotland’s feature handicap under George Wood, with Desert Falcon second and Jubilee Walk third as Purosangue, the starting favourite, took fourth.
• Wood delivered a notable race-day double for trainer Richard Spencer and owner Phil Cunningham after earlier success with Candy in the Ladbrokes Silver Cup.
• Purosangue moved into favouritism after Oisin Murphy took the ride, overtaking earlier support for Northern Ticker, yet the market leader could not reach the podium.
• Ayr’s clerk Graeme Anderson kept the going at soft after 1mm of overnight rain and described the surface as sticky and tacky.
• The headline contest carried a £180,000 prize and the card also featured Catching The Moon in the Group 3 Firth of Clyde and Almeric in the Doonside Cup.
