IT is four weeks ago today that Ger Lyons took Mustajeer to York and won the Sky Bet Ebor, the first million-pound Ebor. Today’s William Hill Ayr Gold Cup is not quite up at that level in terms of value, but it is still a lucrative pot and it is well worth winning.
Buffer Zone has a real chance of winning it too. The Bated Breath gelding has been nicely progressive in four runs this season, his first with Ger Lyons, and he probably ran the best race of his career last Sunday at the Curragh when he won the premier six-furlong handicap that opened proceedings.
