Fantastic to see Hostelry return to winning ways at Ayr under Jo Mason.  Having won 5 races last year and now 9yo things have been tough this season but the drop to classified company and change of headgear did the trick.

HOSTELRY has a bit of class for this level based on the form she’s shown through the majority of her career and came from off the pace to be comfortably on top at the finish in a first-time visor (has regularly worn cheekpieces over the years). She’s won back to back a few times so it would be no surprise to see her go in again now she’s back in the groove.
