13:20 Ayr Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (7/4 +0%) Jet To Vegas	1.75 7/4(+0%)	(6) Jet To Vegas 7/4, Easy winner sole outing in Irish points in May. Had breathing operation before shaping well when second in a Carlisle bumper in October and found only one too good both starts over hurdles, asked to make up plenty of ground for latest of them at Musselburgh 6 weeks ago. One to consider. Runner-up on both hurdling starts (2m1f/2m4f) and likely to play another major role here.
2	1 2nd (1) (1/1 +75%) Admiral Stewart	1 1/1(+75%)	(1) Admiral Stewart 1/1, Second only start in bumpers and looked professional as he went one place better on hurdles bow at Ffos Las (15.8f) in November. May of found race coming too soon when pulled up in Sandown Grade 2 next time and he's worth another chance. Found Grade 2 too hot last time but was quite impressive on hurdling debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (20/1 -25%) Highland Fashion	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Highland Fashion 20/1, Easily best of his three runs when second of 10 in bumper (50/1) at Kelso (16.2f, good) in May. Held back by inexperience when sixth of 9 in novice hurdle debut at Perth (20f) a month later and he's probably one for handicaps later on. Second in quite valuable bumper last May but struggled on hurdle debut one month later.
4	3 4th (3) (22/1 -10%) Burning It Up	22 22/1(-10%)	(3) Burning It Up 22/1, £35,000 4-y-o, Milan gelding. Third on only outing in Irish points and showed a bit in bumper/maiden hurdle at Kelso in recent months. However, he appeals as a likely longer-term project, including when tackling 2½m. Made quite encouraging hurdle debut last month but probably one for another day.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 +42%) Jehol De Thaix	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(5) Jehol De Thaix 7/2, Masked Marvel gelding. Showed plenty to work on when second in a Uttoxeter bumper (15.8f) in the summer and similar story after 7 months off when third on hurdles bow at Kelso (16.2f) in December, threatening briefly 2 out before staying on. Looks a sure-fire improver. Did well to finish third on recent hurdling debut and has obvious potential.
6th	10 6th (10) (400/1 -167%) Lunar Rocks	400 400/1(-167%)	(10) Lunar Rocks 400/1, Poor maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) who jumped ponderously and ultimately offered little when pulled up on hurdles bow at Musselburgh (15.5f) in November. Can only be watched. Lacked fluency and was pulled up when 125-1 for hurdling debut in November.
7th	2 7th (2) (300/1 -100%) Bray Dale	300 300/1(-100%)	(2) Bray Dale 300/1, Failed to come up to expectations in bumpers for Nicky Richards and no promise for current yard, looking badly in need of the run after 23 months off when pulled up in novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, soft) on hurdles bow 43 days ago. Struggled when 200-1 for last month's hurdling debut.
8th	7 8th (7) (300/1 -200%) Just Winging It	300 300/1(-200%)	(7) Just Winging It 300/1, Tailed off in a C&D bumper in October but did at least display minor promise on debut in this sphere despite finishing eleventh of 12 in a Carlisle novice (17f) 5 weeks ago. Still, he's probably only going to become of interest when tackling low-grade handicaps. Well beaten on first two starts (bumper/hurdle) and can't be recommended here.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (50/1 -52%) Rawhide Kid	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Rawhide Kid 50/1, Well Chosen gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (3m-31f winner) Mr Vango. Placed on second of 2 starts in Irish points in early-2023 but this trip may be on the short side making Rules debut. Promising Irish point third in February 2023 but makes rules debut after long absence.

13:20 Ayr Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

GREEN SKY looked set to go close before making a bad mistake at the second-last hurdle in a C&D handicap in early November. The five-year-old certainly performed better than the fourth-placed effort suggests on that occasion and a reproduction of her subsequent third in a 21-runner maiden hurdle at Navan may prove good enough in today's contest. Jet To Vegas has filled the runner-up berth on his last three appearances and he's feared most, ahead of penalised winner Admiral Stewart.

JET TO VEGAS leaves the distinct impression he's open to further progress having filled the runner-up spot both starts over hurdles to date, and he's given the nod to go one place better here. Green Sky boasts greater experience than most and is a player provided she's sharp again in the jumping department. Admiral Stewart and Jehol de Thaix are others meriting consideration.

Another chance is given to ADMIRAL STEWART, who struggled in a Grade 2 six weeks ago but was quite impressive on his hurdle debut.

13:50 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (20/1 -43%) Topkapi Star	20 20/1(-43%)	(10) Topkapi Star 20/1, Bounced back to winning ways when scoring at Sedgefield (19.8f) in October but huge backward step on first run this calendar year, pulled up in a handicap hurdle at this course (20.4f, soft) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces for the first-time today and they need to spark a revival. In good form in the autumn but ran no race here last time; too inconsistent to rely upon.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 +20%) Anamanda	6 6/1(+20%)	(8) Anamanda 6/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat in France who has shown some promise in handicap hurdles, running best race upped in trip when second of 9 in November (23.8f, Musselburgh). Didn't quite back that up when fourth in a stronger race 19 days ago but back down in grade today and has place claims. Chased home bang-in-form rival two starts ago but overall record not convincing.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +71%) Red Cadillac	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(5) Red Cadillac 7/2, Made the frame on both bumper outings last season but just modest form in maiden hurdles, latest over an inadequate trip when fourth of 8 in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, never involved. Entitled to do better now up in trip on handicap bow with yard in good form. Displayed promise in three maiden hurdles and can improve in handicaps; likely contender.
4	11 4th (11) (10/1 -122%) Cowboy Cooper	10 10/1(-122%)	(11) Cowboy Cooper 10/1, Made the frame a few times over hurdles and has improved over fences, shedding maiden tag at Perth (23.8f, soft) when last seen in May, ridden positively. Solid claims back over smaller obstacles if ready to roll following 8-month absence. Won over fences last spring but this hurdle return comes after a 250-day absence.
5th	3 5th (3) (15/2 -25%) Maillot Blanc	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(3) Maillot Blanc 15/2, Arrives in decent nick, seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 42 days ago, but not given hard time once beaten. Eased 1 lb for that effort and arrives here with each-way claims. Placed at Kelso two starts ago but has modes strike-rate and others appeal more.
6th	9 6th (9) (14/1 +30%) Euchan Falls	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) Euchan Falls 14/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023 and pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (20.4f, soft) 18 days ago, losing place early on the final circuit. Lots to find on that evidence. Well below best since returning from a break but runs this track well and is on good mark.
7th	13 7th (13) (13/2 +28%) Billable Grant	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(13) Billable Grant 13/2, Sole success came in an Irish maiden hurdle back in March 2022. Showed the benefit of his recent stable debut, fourth of 16 in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) 37 days ago, driven 4 out and kept on. Extra furlong should be okay but remains to be seen if he can back up latest run. Well down the field on stable debut but last month's Newcastle fourth was much better.
8th	2 8th (2) (25/1 -25%) It's Dan	25 25/1(-25%)	(2) It's Dan 25/1, Showed promise in maiden hurdles in spring 2023 and again back from a long absence at Kelso in December but went backwards from his reappearance on handicap debut (fifth of 7 in here, 16f, heavy) 14 days ago. Up in trip but going to need to improve to defy this sort of mark. Ran well to a point over 2m here on recent handicap debut but was well beaten in the end.
9th	6 9th (6) (50/1 -257%) Benito	50 50/1(-257%)	(6) Benito 50/1, Below his last winning mark but suffered a heavy defeat on the back of a breathing operation at Bangor in August. Off since. Would need to see market support to consider. Dual hurdle winner in 2022 but absent since a disappointing run in summer 2023.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (6/1 -71%) Santa Clarita	6 6/1(-71%)	(7) Santa Clarita 6/1, Made a winning start for Dan Skelton back over hurdles at Worcester in September. Ran best race for current yard when good second of 18 in a handicap hurdle at this course (20.4f, soft) 18 days ago, running on. Stiffer test today should play to her strengths and should be in the mix once again. Creditable second of 18 over 2m4f here this month and can make her presence felt again.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (16/1 +68%) The Roc Hopper	16 16/1(+68%)	(12) The Roc Hopper 16/1, Encouraging sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) in November but failed to come on for that run when seventh of 13 in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 42 days ago, struggling leaving back straight. Work to do. Ran quite well at Kelso two outings ago but yet to be placed after six hurdle starts.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (17/2 -42%) Helsgetaway	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(1) Helsgetaway 17/2, Showed ability in bumpers and promising start in this sphere, very much shaping like a stayer on the two starts he's completed, finished fifth of 10 in a maiden hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, soft), made late headway. Extra furlong can only help and looks interesting on handicap debut. Unexposed 6yo who should have some improvement to come in handicaps.

13:50 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Having ended his last campaign with a ready victory over fences at Perth in May, Cowboy Cooper must enter calculations reverting to hurdles off what looks a workable mark. Market support for Donald Whillans' charge on his return to action must be noted, but it may be worth taking a punt on handicap debutant HELSGETAWAY. Although the son of Getaway will need to jump with more fluency than when fifth at Hexham last month, an official rating of 100 could prove on the lenient side. Santa Clarita is also noted.

Handicap-debutant HELSGETAWAY gets the vote having shown promise in novice hurdles, so he looks the type to make an impact in this sphere now tackling a longer trip. Cowboy Cooper is very much respected on his return to action over hurdles having really found his feet over the bigger obstacles last season, while Santa Clarita and Anamanda shouldn't be far away in an open-looking contenst.

Handicap debutants RED CADILLAC and Helsgetaway have significant potential and may fight this out.

13:50 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:20 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (11/8 +31%) Hombre De Guerra	1.375 11/8(+31%)	(4) Hombre De Guerra 11/8, Fair hurdler who got off the mark in maiden company in March and made pleasing return/chase debut at Carlisle last month. Landed the odds with the minimum of fuss in C&D handicap (soft) since and remains open to improvement in this sphere. Dominated from the front and beat three rivals very comfortably over C&D 18 days ago.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 -20%) Galunggung	6 6/1(-20%)	(3) Galunggung 6/1, Progressive, dual winner over hurdles who made perfect start over the larger obstacles when winning 4-runner handicap at Perth (16f) in May. Looked set to add to that victory when making bad mistake 2 out at Market Rasen last month and can race off same mark here. Might have been unlucky at Market Rasen on Boxing Day but this race looks tougher.
3	2 3rd (2) (13/8 +59%) Primoz	1.625 13/8(+59%)	(2) Primoz 13/8, Bookended his novice campaign over hurdles with victories at this course (both 16f) and perfect start in this sphere when scoring at Wetherby on return. However, checked out rather tamely at Cheltenham next time and needs to bounce back from a heavy fall at Newbury last month. Has not yet progressed from his winning chase debut but remains a good prospect.
4	1 4th (1) (6/1 -200%) Western Fold	6 6/1(-200%)	(1) Western Fold 6/1, Useful hurdler who was running to that sort of level when coming down (looked booked for fourth place) at final fence on chase debut at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Switches to handicaps now and warrants respect. Ran well before last-fence fall in high-quality Fairyhouse beginners' chase last month.

14:20 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Primoz and Western Fold arrive on the back of falls, but they both likely have better days ahead in this discipline and neither can be dismissed. Regardless, HOMBRE DE GUERRA built on his promising chase bow behind the smart Caldwell Potter at Carlisle when scoring with ease over this track and trip 18 days ago. Although the handicapper has reacted with a 10lb hike in the ratings, Nick Alexander's charge rates as the most solid proposition and a brace may be on the cards.

HOMBRE DE GUERRA hasn't been missed by the handicapper for his facile success here earlier this month but remains with potential and can follow up. Galunggung is feared most.

Class act WESTERN FOLD was just about holding his own against some very smart rivals before a late mishap on his chasing debut.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (12/1 -243%) Ginger Mail	12 12/1(-243%)	(3) Ginger Mail 12/1, Consistent type who won at Kelso (2m) last January and was also an excellent second in the valuable Morebattle Hurdle there in March. Shaped well on last month's reappearance (back at Kelso) but unable to build on that at Musselburgh since, in need of a stronger gallop. Dropped another 2 lb. Not at best this season but is a player if judged on last year's Morebattle second.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/4 -38%) Nab Wood	2.75 11/4(-38%)	(4) Nab Wood 11/4, Lightly-raced gelding won novice hurdle at Kelso 12 months ago and followed up in equally impressive style on handicap debut there in February (overcoming pace bias). Showed plenty to work on after 11 months off when sixth at same track on return just over 3 weeks ago and should come on from that. Low-mileage 8yo; ended last season with two wins and made encouraging return last month.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 +58%) Park Annonciade	2.5 5/2(+58%)	(5) Park Annonciade 5/2, Fairly useful hurdler who was in the process of running well (in second at the time) when falling 3 out in handicap chase at Doncaster (19f) last month. Never on terms at this course (16.5f, soft) earlier in the month (didn't look a natural chaser) so no surprise to see him back hurdling. Chasing has not really gone to plan this season but he's on a tempting hurdle mark.
4	7 4th (7) (10/3 +26%) Golden Maverick	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(7) Golden Maverick 10/3, A fairly useful 5-time winner on the Flat for Ian Williams and scored twice hurdling for current yard last spring. Stepped up on return while typically looking a hard ride when fourth of 8 at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) 6 weeks ago and no surprise to see a first-time visor applied. Raced lazily when fourth at Lingfield last month but visor might keep him focused here.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 -9%) Foster'sisland	6 6/1(-9%)	(2) Foster'sisland 6/1, Winless last season but signed off with a good third here in the spring and similar form after 7 months off when second of 6 at Wetherby (19.7f) in November. Found out in a better race at Cheltenham a fortnight later but back on song returned to the North when fourth on Boxing Day. Six hurdle wins (one over C&D); gave good account at Wetherby on Boxing Day; a possible.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 0%) Rafferty's Return	16 16/1(0%)	(1) Rafferty's Return 16/1, Front runner who landed a pair of handicap hurdles early last year. Held when falling 2 out on his Wetherby reappearance and ran below form ridden with more restraint at Doncaster since, his jumping not nearly as fluent as is often the case. Cheekpieces back on and has a bit to prove now. Yet to get going this season but current mark is workable and he has headgear refitted.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 -186%) El Jefe	40 40/1(-186%)	(6) El Jefe 40/1, Enjoyed a fine 2023/24, gaining a fifth victory when landing amateur riders' handicap (16.5f) at the Grand National Meeting in April. Looked rusty returning from 9 months off back there on Boxing Day (had wind op) and no surprise if he still needs this before he starts to refind his form. Surprise winner at last season's Aintree festival but tailed off there on Boxing Day.

14:52 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Nab Wood had excuses when finishing sixth in his hat-trick bid over an extended 2m6f at Kelso last month and it would be no surprise if he were able to make his presence felt now eased in trip off an unchanged mark. That said, he is tentatively taken on with FOSTER'SISLAND. Micky Hammond's charge was in with a winning chance at the final flight before fading into fourth on the run-in over an extended 2m5f at Wetherby on Boxing day and, coming back a furlong in distance off 1lb lower, this may be the day to catch him. Golden Maverick is another for the shortlist.

Tough to rule out any on the septet but the verdict goes to NAB WOOD, who was a dual winner at Kelso around this time last year and showed plenty to work on returning from 11 months off just over 3 weeks ago. It's fair to say Park Annonciade didn't look a natural over fences, so Stuart Crawford's 7-y-o heads up the dangers back in this discipline, with Golden Maverick taken to edge out Ginger Mail for third spot.

Low-mileage 8yo NAB WOOD (nap) looked progressive in the early part of last year and can build upon his encouraging reappearance run.

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +5%) Undeniable Alibi	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(3) Undeniable Alibi 10/3, Fairly useful hurdler but hasn't built on a respectable chase debut in 2 subsequent starts. Still early days, though, and step up in trip could suit (point winner). Made promising chase debut over 2m; two lesser runs followed (2m1f/2m6f); still considered.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 -167%) Ilikedwayurthinkin	4 4/1(-167%)	(1) Ilikedwayurthinkin 4/1, Useful handicap hurdler/chaser who has rediscovered his form, winning 4 of his last 5 starts over fences, including an impressive all-the-way win at Newcastle last time. 8 lb higher now but that may not be enough to stop him. Resurgent veteran who has won four of his last five and needs to be take very seriously.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/3 +33%) Autonomous Cloud	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(2) Autonomous Cloud 10/3, Dual winner at Uttoxeter and also fourth in Midlands Grand National there in March. Below par since but has at least dipped below his last winning mark. Thorough stayer; on good mark but not much has gone to plan for him this season.
4	4 4th (4) (17/2 -21%) Shighness	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(4) Shighness 17/2, Consistent over hurdles and got off the mark at the fourth time of asking in this sphere in 4-runner Catterick handicap almost a year ago. Solid effort on final start of last season but she now needs to bounce back following a heavy reappearance defeat at Carlisle. Ended last season in good form; needs to rebound from a disappointing reappearance run.
5th	5 5th (5) (2/1 +64%) De Legislator	2 2/1(+64%)	(5) De Legislator 2/1, Shirocco gelding who won his sole start in Irish points and then his first 2 over hurdles at Hexham and Kelso. Very good fifth in Haydock Grade 2 when last seen almost 2 years ago but still rates an interesting chasing prospect. Promising novice hurdler in 2022-23; makes chase/handicap debut after long absence.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

15:27 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

The lightly-raced De Legislator retains plenty of potential despite a low-key effort in a Grade 2 over an extended 3m at Haydock when last seen in February and, for a yard whose inmates can often improve for a fence, he commands respect on his chasing debut. That said, he may have to play second fiddle to ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN. Following a C&D victory, Ben Haslam's charge readily brought up a double over 3m5f at Newcastle in November and the suspicion is that an 8lb rise may not be enough to anchor this progressive chaser. Irish raider Undeniable Alibi is also a key player.

ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN is absolutely thriving at present, producing a most impressive display to record his fourth win from 5 starts since sent back over fences at Newcastle in November, and this looks another good opportunity with his rivals arriving with something to prove. De Legislator has been absent for almost 2 years but is still a potentially interesting runner on his chasing debut so is feared most.

Gordon Elliott's runner UNDENIABLE ALIBI has not yet built upon his promising seasonal/chase debut but still looks interesting.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
9	9 (9) (11/1 +73%) Bluebell Glen	11 11/1(+73%)	(9) Bluebell Glen 11/1, Showed a bit in bumpers but no impact over hurdles last season and again failed to complete on return in a 20.9f Kelso novice in December. Another who needs to improve markedly now venturing down the handicap route. Has uninspiring form-figures but positives can be drawn from her latest run.
1	13 1st (13) (40/1 +20%) Tread Softly Now	40 40/1(+20%)	(13) Tread Softly Now 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden who looks pretty limited judged on what she's shown in 3 bumpers and as many starts over hurdles. Exponential improvement needed now tried in a handicap with first-time cheekpieces enlisted. Showed no promise in her three qualifying runs; down in trip with headgear on today.
2	10 2nd (10) (2/1 +56%) Am Still Here	2 2/1(+56%)	(10) Am Still Here 2/1, Beaten a long way in novice/handicap hurdles last season and didn't fare much better on return at Doncaster (19.4f, good). That said, he is presumably thought capable of better judged on his SP in all 3 starts since switched to handicaps. Unable to justify prominence in the betting well when beaten in all three handicaps.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 +14%) The Jeweller's Pet	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) The Jeweller's Pet 12/1, In the frame twice in points but yet to trouble the judge under Rules, most recently beaten a long way on his handicap debut over 20.4f here. Always towards rear when 33-1 for recent handicap debut here (2m4f).
4	11 4th (11) (13/2 +54%) Fathers Advice	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(11) Fathers Advice 13/2, Runner-up 4 times in this sphere but it's hard to ignore the fact that his hurdles record stands at 0-19 and his reappearance spin over fences here a fortnight ago was underwhelming. Now tried in a visor. Didn't run badly over fences here this month but now 0-28 overall.
5th	5 5th (5) (18/1 -80%) Toucan Sam	18 18/1(-80%)	(5) Toucan Sam 18/1, Modest maiden chaser who was placed 3 times in hunters/handicaps last May. By no means disgraced back hurdling following a break/wind op here a fortnight ago but whether he is able to build on that remains to be seen. Just a modest third over 2m5f here recently and now 0-21 under all codes.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 -122%) Mix De Gris	10 10/1(-122%)	(7) Mix De Gris 10/1, Modest on the Flat and pulled up on hurdling debut at Newcastle having raced freely. Shaped better with hood applied when second to easy winner at Wetherby before again racing too freely in a Doncaster juvenile. Could have a say if settling better on this handicap bow. No threat to eased-down winner when second in a maiden but might improve in handicaps.
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 -175%) Breadalbane Lass	33 33/1(-175%)	(6) Breadalbane Lass 33/1, Telescope mare who showed ability when sixth in a Newcastle bumper in December 2023. No show 3 starts since switched to this sphere but wouldn't be a major surprise were she to show herself in a better light now handicapping. Showed no more than minor promise when a big-priced outsider for her three qualifying runs.
8th	3 8th (3) (13/2 -30%) Powerofjet	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(3) Powerofjet 13/2, Attracted support and ran better than on handicap debut when third in 13-runner event at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to soft) last time. This drop back in trip is probably no bad thing and he's worth a second look. No match for wide-margin winner but still ran well when third at Sedgefield last month.
9th	12 9th (12) (15/2 -25%) Don't Look Back	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(12) Don't Look Back 15/2, Winner of just one of his 13 starts on the Flat and took hurdles record to 0-19 when sixth of 19 at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) in November. Still, that wasn't a bad effort considering that he was 15 lb 'wrong' at the weights (only 2 lb out of the handicap here) and he's not without hope. Ran well from out of the weights last time but is 0-19 over hurdles now; others preferred.
10th	2 10th (2) (18/1 -64%) Red Ned	18 18/1(-64%)	(2) Red Ned 18/1, Runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers last season but has offered little in 3 starts over hurdles so far and big step forward needed now pitched into a handicap. Shaped quite well when sixth in C&D maiden this month; can improve in handicaps.
11th	1 11th (1) (20/1 -150%) Tan Law	20 20/1(-150%)	(1) Tan Law 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden who produced by far his best effort yet when third of 10 in novice hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, soft, 200/1) 24 days ago. Needs to raise his game now handicapping but that is entirely possible with this drop back in trip a potentially good move. 200-1 third in Hexham maiden last month; needs to improve again to defy top weight.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (28/1 -180%) Away She Goes	28 28/1(-180%)	(8) Away She Goes 28/1, Failed to make an impact in 2 bumpers/3 starts over hurdles for Brian Ellison last year. On the upside, she did at least show glimmers of ability first-time-out in this sphere at Hexham and improvement may well be on the way now handicapping for new connections. Left Brian Ellison after three underwhelming qualifying runs in early part of this season.

16:02 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

This looks a trappy affair on paper so only a tentative vote goes to the unexposed MIX DE GRIS. Lucinda Russell's charge lost little in defeat when finishing runner-up in a first-time hood (retained) over 2m at Wetherby on his penultimate start and, making his handicap debut for his in-form stable, he looks the one to be with. Tan Law hasn't cut much ice in his qualifying runs but better can be expected now pitched into handicap company. Red Ned is also noted.

If MIX DE GRIS settles better now venturing into handicap company for the first time in this sphere he may well prove to be on a good mark. Indeed, he chased home a subsequent Grade 2 runner-up on his second start over hurdles at Wetherby in November, form which reads pretty well in the context of this race. Away She Goes is another who could take a step forward now making her way into handicap company and she is second choice ahead of Don't Look Back and Powerofjet.

A speculative option to consider is BLUEBELL GLEN, who put in a good front-running shift before tiring in a 2m5f novice last month.
