1	12 1st (12) (11/5 +56%) Alright Dai		2.2 11/5(+56%)																															(12) Alright Dai 11/5, Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers (trained by Dan Skelton first 2 outings), but hadn't offered much over hurdles until taking a step forward in first-time cheekpieces when landing handicap at Market Rasen (20.6f) on Boxing Day. Respected under a penalty. Won readily in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen last Thursday; leading player.
2	9 2nd (9) (33/1 -106%) Santa Clarita		33 33/1(-106%)																															(9) Santa Clarita 33/1, Made a winning start for Dan Skelton back over hurdles at Worcester in September. Shaped encouragingly first 2 outings for current yard, runner-up at Kelso (20.9f) in November, before finding it tougher up in grade last time. Could bounce back. Fair second at Kelso on second run for yard but has to bounce back from lesser latest run.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 +8%) So Many Roads		11 11/1(+8%)																															(2) So Many Roads 11/1, Made a winning handicap debut at this C&D in early-2023 but hasn't managed to go on from that effort since, running below form on last 2 starts. Needs to get back on track as he returns from 10 months off (has had breathing operation). Well beaten on final two starts last term but this C&D winner has had a wind op since.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 +50%) Snowrocco		20 20/1(+50%)																															(5) Snowrocco 20/1, Placed in an Irish point and encouragement when making the frame at Wetherby on hurdles bow. Remote third at Catterick next time, before down the field at Musselburgh (15.6f) on seasonal/handicap debut in November, but the step up in trip should suit. Down the field on handicap debut but bred to be suited by this longer trip; interesting.
5th	19 5th (19) (7/2 +56%) Cave Hill		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(19) Cave Hill 7/2, Has looked an improved performer with tongue tie applied last 2 starts, getting off the mark in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f) 19 days ago. Enters calculations now that he's up and running. Won big-field handicap at Newcastle last time; different ground today but still respected.
6th	20 6th (20) (11/1 +39%) Lewa House		11 11/1(+39%)																															(20) Lewa House 11/1, Only one win from 22 starts but placed on 4 of his 6 outings last season. Failed to come on for reappearance run when sixth of 11 at Hexham (20.1f) 22 days ago, but he's not ruled out from 5 lb below his winning mark. Inconsistent 9yo with poor strike-rate but second in this last year and not ruled out e-w.
7th	14 7th (14) (6/1 +40%) Wainwright		6 6/1(+40%)																															(14) Wainwright 6/1, After 5 months off, finished well held but showed a bit more promise on third start when seventh of 12 in novice at Kelso (18.1f) in April, still having plenty to do between 4 out and 3 out. Could yet do better as he makes handicap debut after 8 months off. Soundly beaten on all three starts but could improve for the longer trip on handicap debut.
8th	13 8th (13) (15/2 +17%) Beat The Retreat		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(13) Beat The Retreat 15/2, Successful at this course (18f) in December 2023 but lost his way as the season ended and pulled up on return. However, under Dominic Hislop he bounced back to form when third at Musselburgh (19.8f) in November. Capable of getting involved. Course winner who was a good third at Musselburgh last time and could be thereabouts.
9th	17 9th (17) (33/1 -18%) Ballyquin Bay		33 33/1(-18%)																															(17) Ballyquin Bay 33/1, Remains a maiden after 17 starts. Reached the frame in handicap hurdles for this yard last winter but pulled up both starts this season, the latest at Carlisle (19.3f) 18 days ago. On a competitive mark on last winter's form but pulled up on both runs this term; now 0-17.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 0%) The Jeweller's Pet		50 50/1(0%)																															(10) The Jeweller's Pet 50/1, In the frame twice in points and, upped further in trip, made more impact on third start over hurdles when sixth of 9 in a Cartmel maiden (22.1f) in June. Further improvement required as he goes handicapping after 6 months off. Has shown some ability and now goes handicapping off a lowly mark; not ruled out.
11th	18 11th (18) (125/1 -150%) Catcha Flight		125 125/1(-150%)																															(18) Catcha Flight 125/1, Hinted at ability on bumper debut and did the same making third start over hurdles, unable to sustain effort from a long way back when down the field in a Kelso maiden (16.2f) 25 days ago. Upped in trip for handicap bow. Goes h'capping off lowly mark but hasn't achieved much over h'dles; claims not compelling.
12th	3 12th (3) (28/1 -40%) Love That		28 28/1(-40%)																															(3) Love That 28/1, Has made the frame (modest form) all 3 completed starts over hurdles, avoiding mistakes when second in a Kelso novice (20.9f) 25 days ago, albeit beaten 21 lengths. Needs to find more back in a handicap. Distant second of eight in Kelso novice last time; not ruled out now back in a handicap.
13th	4 13th (4) (50/1 -79%) Coral Blue		50 50/1(-79%)																															(4) Coral Blue 50/1, Three-time winner in 2022/23, including at this C&D, but failed to fire in 3 starts last season. After 6 months off, shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 5 at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in July, but he's been off again since. Won over C&D in February 2023 but this 10yo has been lightly raced since and hasn't shone.
14th	7 14th (7) (20/1 -82%) Marty Mcfly		20 20/1(-82%)																															(7) Marty Mcfly 20/1, Struck at second time of asking for Sandy Thomson in a Perth handicap in June, but failed to repeat that effort at Kelso 5 months later (following a wind op). However, he ran better when fourth of 8 at Doncaster (16.6f) last time. Tongue strap back on. Shaped when fourth at Doncaster latest as though this step back up in trip worth a go.
15	15 |PU| (15) (22/1 -38%) Topkapi Star		22 22/1(-38%)																															(15) Topkapi Star 22/1, Successful twice in 2022/23 but ran only once the following season. However, after another 5 months off she bounced back when winning at Sedgefield (19.8f) in October. Backed up that effort when fourth at Haydock (24.3f) last time, so she could be in the mix. Won at Sedgefield in October and fair fourth at Haydock next time; could be involved.
11	11 |PU| (11) (28/1 -40%) Euchan Falls		28 28/1(-40%)																															(11) Euchan Falls 28/1, Last win came at this C&D back in March 2023 and, after 5 months off, has finished well beaten returned to chasing on his last 2 starts. However, he's now dropped below his last winning mark as he reverts to hurdling with cheekpieces reapplied. C&D winner but well beaten over fences the last twice and needs to raise his game.
8	8 |PU| (8) (50/1 +0%) Lisloran		50 50/1(+0%)																															(8) Lisloran 50/1, Won 3 times over fences at around 20f during 2022/23 campaign. Failed to kick on from a respectable run over hurdles last term, well held in handicap chase at this course (20.5f) in February. Off 10 months (has had breathing operation). Returns from absence on a handy mark but was tailed off on his last two starts.
16	16 |PU| (16) (80/1 -21%) Ardera Cross		80 80/1(-21%)																															(16) Ardera Cross 80/1, Veteran who has 9 chase wins at this course to his name. However, ran no sort of race at Carlisle on final outing in 2023/24 and has fared no better in 2 starts here this season. Others preferred back over hurdles. Nine-time course winner but this 14yo has struggled here on his two starts this season.

13:40 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Freshened up following a costly Southwell defeat in the summer, ALRIGHT DAI made amends with an impressive victory at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and he is 5lb well-in under his penalty. The cheekpieces that appeared to do the trick in Lincolnshire stay on and he can follow up. Achnamara's penalty leaves him 6lb lower than his revised rating so the Sedgefield scorer looks very dangerous. Cave Hill arrives on the back of a breakthrough triumph at Newcastle and is noted too.

ACHNAMARA wasted no time getting back on track when opening his hurdles account with a wide-margin success at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and he can go on to score again under a penalty. Alright Dai also arrives on the back of a win 7 days ago and could be the biggest threat, with Cave Hill and Beat The Retreat also considered.

Having bolted up at Market Rasen on Boxing Day, ALRIGHT DAI can defy a penalty and make it 2-2 in the cheekpieces.

1	2 1st (2) (10/11 +24%) Whistle Stop Tour		0.909091 10/11(+24%)																															(2) Whistle Stop Tour 10/11, Dual hurdle winner last season and this former Irish point scorer made it second time lucky over fences with a convincing display at Kelso (3m, heavy) last month, forging clear late on. Definitely more to come and can make light of a 6 lb rise. Won at Kelso last month on second chase start & could have lots more to offer over fences.
2	4 2nd (4) (22/1 +21%) Wasdell Dundalk		22 22/1(+21%)																															(4) Wasdell Dundalk 22/1, Five wins since joining this yard but arrives with something to prove having pulled up on his last 2 outings. Won twice in the autumn; current mark shouldn't be beyond him but pulled up the last twice.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 -5%) Jet Legs		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(5) Jet Legs 7/2, Winner of a pair of handicap chases around 3m last winter. Better effort this term when fifth of 11 in 4m Borders National at Kelso last month, left behind gradually after 3 out. Respected back at 3m. Progressive novice last season; weakened when fifth over 4m at Kelso; could be a player.
4	1 4th (1) (11/1 -175%) Gold Cup Bailly		11 11/1(-175%)																															(1) Gold Cup Bailly 11/1, Won first 3 starts sent chasing in 2022/23, including C&D, but lightly raced and well held since. Off a further 8 months since finishing 22 lengths third of 4 over hurdles at Down Royal in May. Below par last spring and returns from some more time off today, but has good record here.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/3 +52%) Special Rate		3.333333 10/3(+52%)																															(3) Special Rate 10/3, Enjoyed a most productive campaign over hurdles/fences last term, winning 7 from 10 starts for Philip Kirby. Shaped better than the result when seventh of 13 in the competitive Rehearsal at Newcastle (3m, good) in November, weakening having made headway into third. Had wind op since. On a handy mark on last season's best and not ruled out on first run since wind surgery.

14:15 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Whistle Stop Tour was a progressive hurdler and looks set to continue that forward momentum after making it second-time lucky over fences at Kelso. Even so, a chance is still taken on the fitness of GOLD CUP BAILLY, who took this prize in 2023. Winless, albeit quite lightly raced since, his last three chase starts have come in Grade 3/premier handicap company and he can make the most of the drop in class. Special Rate also commands respect.

A 6 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop WHISTLE STOP TOUR with further improvement very much on the cards. Jet Legs seemed to find 4m on deep ground stretching his stamina in the 4m Borders National at Kelso and can provide the main threat back over shorter.

The novice WHISTLE STOP TOUR won at Kelso last month on second chase start and looks to be a stayer going places.

1	4 1st (4) (7/2 -40%) Hashtag Boum		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(4) Hashtag Boum 7/2, Fairly useful winning hurdler who struck at the first time of asking over fences in 21f Sedgefield handicap at the beginning of October. Bumped into a smart prospect when second at Uttoxeter since. Likely more to come and respected. Promise on both chase starts and he could have more to offer; one to consider.
2	5 2nd (5) (28/1 -40%) Lord Roco		28 28/1(-40%)																															(5) Lord Roco 28/1, Hurdle winner. Also runner-up 3 times over fences at the end of 2022 but off since pulling up twice at Carlisle in early 2023. Returns in quite a warm race and can only watch. Promising start to chase career in late 2022 but he has a hefty absence to defy.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/10 +32%) President Scottie		1.1 11/10(+32%)																															(1) President Scottie 11/10, Ended last term on the up over hurdles, including a 20.5f win here. Promising second in 21.5f Haydock handicap on chase debut/reappearance. Looks sure to progress and win races over fences. Course hurdles winner who was a promising second on chase debut; open to improvement.
4	7 4th (7) (17/2 +15%) Step Above		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(7) Step Above 17/2, Shaped well when third on his 2½m Perth reappearance in September but pulled up at Newcastle 2 months later. Won here over hurdles but pulled up over fences at Newcastle last time; has to bounce back.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/5 +20%) Choose A Copper		3.2 16/5(+20%)																															(2) Choose A Copper 16/5, Posted career best when making a winning return/chasing bow at Hexham (2½m) in October. Disappointed at Kelso last time but he remains on a fair mark and could well bounce back. Won on chase debut at Hexham; disappointing at Kelso since but retains potential.
6	6 |PU| (6) (16/1 +68%) Ozzy Cosmo		16 16/1(+68%)																															(6) Ozzy Cosmo 16/1, Irish point recruit who landed a 2m course novice hurdle on Rules debut last December but fell both subsequent hurdle starts last season and made an inauspicious start to his chase career when last of 6 on Kelso reappearance. Should do better at some point but can only watch this time. Course novice hurdle winner; not written off but well beaten at 33-1 on his chase debut.

14:50 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

PRESIDENT SCOTTIE was far from disgraced when finishing second on his chasing debut at Haydock and is only 2lb higher for that performance. With plenty of scope for improvement, the gelding might be able to go one better. The main threat could be Hashtag Boum, who occupied the runner-up berth in this grade at Uttoxeter last time and should go well. Choose A Copper completes the shortlist.

There was plenty to like about PRESIDENT SCOTTIE's chase debut second at Haydock last month and he's narrowly preferred to Ruth Jefferson's Hashtag Boum in quite an interesting novice handicap.

Topweight PRESIDENT SCOTTIE (nap) is a useful prospect and can get off the mark over fences following his promising chase debut second.

1	2 1st (2) (8/1 -14%) O'toole		8 8/1(-14%)																															(2) O'toole 8/1, Useful hurdler/chaser but off since finishing second in a 3m Grade 2 novice chase at Wetherby in February 2023. The betting should help guide to expectations. Absent since February 2023 but second in Grade 2 novice chase back then; watch the betting.
2	6 2nd (6) (13/2 +46%) Gaillimh A Stor		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(6) Gaillimh A Stor 13/2, Course novice hurdle winner back in 2022. Off 21 months, shaped as if retaining all his ability when third of 10 at Kelso (23f) 25 days ago. Claims if he can build on that. Returned from absence with mighty third at Kelso last month and could be a factor.
3	10 3rd (10) (3/1 +63%) Adveram		3 3/1(+63%)																															(10) Adveram 3/1, Off the mark in 19.5f course handicap on reappearance in October. This consistent has hit the frame on both outings since but he is 4 lb out of the handicap here. 4lb out of the handicap but progressive form this season and could be in the shake-up.
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 -127%) Pinot Rouge		25 25/1(-127%)																															(3) Pinot Rouge 25/1, Point winner who took well to hurdling last season, winning 3m Doncaster listed novice in March before fine fourth in Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree (3m again) in April. Has taken to fences this winter but may fare better back hurdling. Reverts to hurdles and she won a Listed mares' novice hurdle last March; not ruled out.
5th	4 5th (4) (17/2 -155%) Hazy Glen		8.5 17/2(-155%)																															(4) Hazy Glen 17/2, Promise in maiden/novice hurdles last season and improved to make a winning handicap debut/reappearance at Haydock (19f, soft) 29 days ago. Up in trip. Likely has even more to offer so a 5 lb rise may not stop him. Won on handicap debut at Haydock; new trip today but he's unexposed and promising.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/2 -29%) Forged Well		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(7) Forged Well 9/2, Largely progressive hurdles, winning a 21f Kelso handicap in November. Good second (Gaillimh A Stor third) over 23f back there since. The even longer trip today should play to his strengths. Respected. Progressive at the end of last year and this longer trip could prompt further improvement.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/4 +45%) Both Barrels		2.75 11/4(+45%)																															(8) Both Barrels 11/4, Made steady progressive over hurdles last season, landing a 23f Kelso handicap in April. Off since but he's a low-mileage sort who could easily have more to offer. Returns from absence but brings staying potential to this reappearance; player if tuned up.
8th	9 8th (9) (33/1 +18%) Coventry		33 33/1(+18%)																															(9) Coventry 33/1, It's now 19 runs since his last win in 2021. Did run well for second at Carlisle (17f, soft) in October but not in anything like the same form at Haydock (2m) since. Significantly back up in trip now. Step back in the right direction at Carlisle in October but heavy defeat at Haydock since.
9th	5 9th (5) (66/1 -200%) Theme Tune		66 66/1(-200%)																															(5) Theme Tune 66/1, Landed a pair of 3m handicap hurdle wins for Nick Alexander in 2022/23 season but not seen since finishing a below-par sixth at Carlisle 14 months ago. Possibly best watched unless the market hints otherwise. Four-time winner but down the field in November 2023 and absent since.
10th	1 10th (1) (14/1 -17%) Wakool		14 14/1(-17%)																															(1) Wakool 14/1, C&D winner but had a poor time last season and beaten 21 lengths when fourth on his C&D return from wind surgery in November. Tongue tied first time now. He continues to drop down the weights but for good reason; needs to turn things around.

15:25 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

HAZY GLEN made a successful handicap debut at Haydock on his most recent outing and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 5lb for that triumph. He takes a step up in trip, which could eke out the improvement required to go in again. Both Barrels justified favouritism over an extended 2m6f at Kelso last April and could get involved on his reappearance. Forged Well is another to watch out for.

HAZY GLEN should have more to come so a 5 lb rise for Haydock doesn't look enough to prevent him going in again assuming his stamina holds now stepping up significantly in trip. Last-time-out Kelso 2-3 Forged Well and Gaillimh A Stor may give him most to do.

The improving 6yo FORGED WELL has been in fine form at Kelso the last twice and this further step up in trip promises to suit.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
