Hayes hoping Force shines at Ayr Chris Hayes is expecting a bold show from G Force in the William Hill Ayr Gold Cup on Saturday. Now with Adrian Keatley but winner of a Haydock Sprint Cup in his pomp for David O'Meara, the five-year-old hasn' t shown his old form of late, although there was a bit more to like about his latest third at Navan. "He did a piece of work the other morning that he's never done before for Adrian or me," said Hayes. "We were very happy with him going to Navan. Pat Smullen rode him that day as I was at Haydock. "Pat said he'd run a good race in the Ayr Gold Cup and I'm hoping he's right. "He's had one or two little issues after I rode him in Goodwood in the Stewards' Cup. He travelled as well as anything in that race, then two and a half (furlongs) out he just bottomed out. "We've found out what the reason was and Adrian got it addressed. He was a little short of work going to Navan so it was nice to see him finish off the race. "He's on fire now so hopefully we can do the business."
