THE Thursday ground at Ayr was not quite as heavy as it was for the big meeting but stamina remained at a premium. That seemed to suit T For Tango and Cubomania, who both won to give Irish raiders a double on the day.

Starting at 8/1, T For Tango challenged towards the far side in the Western House Hotel Handicap over six furlongs and went clear for Tony Hamilton to beat Falmouth Light by three lengths.
