1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +0%) Chasingouttheblues		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(2) Chasingouttheblues 9/2, Improved plenty for stiffer test of stamina (20f) when making second hurdles start a winning one at Hexham in November, Resumed winning ways on handicap debut at Wetherby on Boxing Day, did well in the circumstances, again looking like a stayer. Gets the step up in trip today and looks a big player. Progressive and made it 2-4 at Wetherby last month; more to offer up in trip; big shout.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +14%) Gaillimh A Stor		3 3/1(+14%)																															(1) Gaillimh A Stor 3/1, Course novice hurdle winner back in 2022. Off 21 months, shaped as if retaining all his ability when third of 10 at Kelso last month. Followed that up with decent second over C&D (soft) 19 days ago, beaten a head having held every chance at the last. One for the shortlist. Good C&D second 19 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up despite 3lb weights rise.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 +29%) Piaff Bubbles		10 10/1(+29%)																															(8) Piaff Bubbles 10/1, Resumed from 21 months off with a solid fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, soft) 24 days ago, not ideally placed. Merits consideration with that run under his belt. Not disgraced after 21 months off when fifth at Uttoxeter 41 days ago; can build on it now.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +17%) Guernesey		5 5/1(+17%)																															(7) Guernesey 5/1, Has run his best races in a while on last two outings, third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, soft) in December (didn't jump fluently) and backed up that effort with a creditable fourth in a handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Capable of hitting the frame again. On a long losing run but a solid fourth at Kelso 23 days ago; shortlisted off same mark.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 +53%) Lady In The Park		4 4/1(+53%)																															(4) Lady In The Park 4/1, Second on both starts here over hurdles. Mixed bag over fenced but ran well on return to smaller obstacles when second of 8 in a handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, soft) 22 days ago, deserving extra credit having met trouble in running. Should run well again. Failed to go on over fences but good second back hurdling at Haydock latest; considered.
6th	5 6th (5) (15/2 +12%) Shoeshine Boy		7.5 15/2(+12%)																															(5) Shoeshine Boy 15/2, Two-time C&D winner. Scored at Hexham in October on comeback (23.3f, soft) but no in same form since, fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (25f, soft) 37 days ago. Seems to be all about stamina and should be running on late. Dual C&D scorer but below-par fifth at Carlisle last month; needs to bounce back.
7th	3 7th (3) (33/1 -1220%) Buy Some Time		33 33/1(-1220%)																															(3) Buy Some Time 33/1, Lightly-raced. Finished last term with a double at Perth, latest a good effort (23.9f, good) ridden patiently, made headway 3 out and stayed on. Looked very progressive then and although we haven't seen him for 6-months, it would be no surprise to see him resume progress if ready to roll on return. Bagged a pair of 3m Perth handicaps in July; needs considering despite his layoff.
6	6 |PU| (6) (8/1 +33%) Artic Mann		8 8/1(+33%)																															(6) Artic Mann 8/1, Has hit the frame on two occasions at this venue. Very consistent last season and creditable return after 5 months off when third of 6 at Kelso and ran to a similar level when fifth of 10 in a handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, soft) 48 days ago. Might just be in the grip of the handicapper. Not discredited when fifth in Haydock h'cap last month; this veteran can't be ruled out.
9	9 |PU| (9) (66/1 -65%) Arctic Ambition		66 66/1(-65%)																															(9) Arctic Ambition 66/1, Blinkered for first time when pulled up in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, soft) 150 days ago, reported to have an irregular heartbeat. Switches to hurdles on return from 150-day break and others preferred. Blinkered when pulled up in 2m5f Cartmel handicap chase in August; others appeal more.

14:30 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES got up in the nick of time over an extended 2m3f at Wetherby on Boxing Day, and there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful that he can follow up. The unexposed six-year-old was making his handicap debut that day and although a subsequent 5lb rise might seem harsh, he can progress further now upped significantly in trip. Gaillimh A Stor was desperately unlucky when narrowly denied over C&D from 3lb lower earlier this month and he merits respect, along with Lady In The Park.

Plenty in with a chance here and it might pay to side with CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES, the youngest and least exposed of these who is now tackling staying trips for the first time having scored on handicap debut last month. Guernsey ran well in a higher grade last time and has solid claims, while Lady In The Park should not be discounted having returned to form over hurdles. Buy Some Time deserves an honourable mention on his return from an absence, and he's one to keep an eye on in the market.

It's hard to go against Mark Walford's improving CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES (nap) who can take another step forward now his stamina is drawn out

1	2 1st (2) (11/4 +0%) El Elefante		2.75 11/4(+0%)																															(2) El Elefante 11/4, Fairly useful hurdler who made a winning start to her chasing career in 2½m Worcester novice on return in October. Has failed to build on that in couple of mares' listed events since but she has to enter the reckoning now pitched into a handicap in this sphere. Taken well to fences, winning on debut before good 3rd in Listed company; one to consider.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 +21%) Lunar Discovery		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(4) Lunar Discovery 11/2, Dual bumper winner who also won a pair of novice hurdles last season. Far from disgraced on return/debut in this sphere at Carlisle in November and also performed with credit back hurdling at Aintree on Boxing Day, but this demands a clear career-best. Decent hurdler; few errors on chase debut (behind El Elefante); 4lb wrong; bit to find.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/6 +44%) Hashtag Boum		0.833333 5/6(+44%)																															(3) Hashtag Boum 5/6, Successful twice over hurdles and has already shown herself to be more of a force in this sphere, winning 2 of her 3 starts since switched to fences. Up 7 lb for that and she's 2 lb 'wrong' here, but this consistent, strong-travelling mare looks sure to give it a good shot. Progressive chaser; career-best when winning over C&D latest; 7lb higher today; contender.
4	1 4th (1) (7/1 -155%) Duffle Coat		7 7/1(-155%)																															(1) Duffle Coat 7/1, Several solid efforts in defeat in this sphere prior to opening chase account in a 23.4f listed handicap at Ballinrobe last May. Bettered that when a fine second in the Galway Plate during the summer and will be a big player if able bounce back from a rare poor effort on latest start in September. Smart; two good chase runs last year; obvious contender but best form on better ground.

15:05 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

HASHTAG BOUM made it two wins from three over the larger obstacles when on target over this C&D recently and despite being 2lb out of the handicap today, Ruth Jefferson's charge can continue on her upward trajectory. A return to handicaps should benefit El Elefante, though, and she merits respect along with top-weight Duffle Coat. Lunar Discovery will need to find more if she's to upset the apple cart.

Though EL ELEFANTE has failed to go on from her winning chase debut in two subsequent appearances, it would be no surprise whatsoever to see her get back on track now that her sights are lowered. Indeed, she has contested listed events the last twice and this company is not so taxing. Irish raider Duffle Coat will be a big threat, despite conceding lumps of weight all round, if close to his best following a break, while Hashtag Boum has taken really well to fences and she has to be feared, too.

In a tricky race, the class act DUFFLE COAT is taken to win despite reservations about him being at his best on the soft ground.

1	1 1st (1) (3/1 -60%) Timmy Tuesday		3 3/1(-60%)																															(1) Timmy Tuesday 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden who stepped up on his belated reappearance effort when second of 11 in novice hurdle at Limerick (21f, soft, 16/1) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut and surprise were he not capable of better for his top yard. Enigmatic but capable on his day, last time finishing 2nd in Limerick maiden; chance.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 -33%) Ruby Island		4 4/1(-33%)																															(6) Ruby Island 4/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and won first 2 starts over hurdles in 2022/23. Very lightly raced since but didn't shape badly with a view to stepping back up in trip for new stable when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f) 39 days ago. Worth a second look. Dual winner for Mark Walford; good 2nd on comeback (2m); return to 2m4f will suit; chance.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 +18%) I Wish You		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(4) I Wish You 9/2, Consistent sort who got off the mark in 10-runner novice hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) in October. However, handed a stiff-opening mark and never threatened when fourth of 6 on handicap debut at Sandown (2m) 46 days ago. Eased 2 lb ahead of this. Runner-up all starts last term; off the mark in novice in October; interesting up to 2m4f.
4	5 4th (5) (11/2 -10%) Kinbara Firstdraft		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(5) Kinbara Firstdraft 11/2, Registered a second hurdles victory from a 4 lb lower mark over C&D in November and far from disgraced when sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Not ruled out in an open-looking contest. Two wins on good this term, latest over C&D; below par latest; soft ground not ideal.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 +36%) Dollar Collar		16 16/1(+36%)																															(2) Dollar Collar 16/1, Irish point winner who quickly reached a fair level over hurdles last season, winning second of 3 starts in a Hexham maiden (16.2f) in March. Rather disconcerting she's been pulled up both starts over fences/hurdles this winter but undergone wind surgery ahead of this. Could bounce back. Winning Irish pointer; quite useful novice hurdler last term; interesting after wind op.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/3 +72%) Follow Charlie		3.333333 10/3(+72%)																															(7) Follow Charlie 10/3, Dual C&D winner last winter who stepped up on his comeback when third returned to this venue in November. Subsequent Kelso run was disappointing but a return to this course rates an obvious plus with cheekpieces now reached for. Possibilities. Goes well here; two C&D wins last term and third over C&D in November; each-way chance.
3	3 |PU| (3) (14/1 -75%) Bel Amigo		14 14/1(-75%)																															(3) Bel Amigo 14/1, Fairly useful over hurdles and fences in France, winning a claiming chase in March. Too keen when remote third in 2¾m Kelso novice hurdle on British debut 73 days ago but that should have knocked some of the freshness out of him. Refitting of a hood can also help in that regard. Ex-French; winning chaser; well-beaten 3rd in novice hurdle on stable debut; more needed.

15:40 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

TIMMY TUESDAY was second to a potentially smart Willie Mullins-trained improver at Limerick last month and, although well held by that rival, it was still an encouraging enough effort to suggest he can take the lead role here. I Wish You, who won a novices' hurdle at Carlisle on his penultimate start, is weighted to have an impact on just his second start in a handicap. Ruby Island is a previous course winner who looks worth another try over this sort of trip.

FOLLOW CHARLIE needs to dispel a lesser effort at Kelso but a return to this venue (both wins gained over C&D) rates an obvious plus with the cheekpieces now reached for and he's given a chance to bounce back. Ruby Island promises to be suited by the step back up in trip and she's feared. Gordon Elliott's Timmy Tuesday on handicap debut is another to note.

The enigmatic TIMMY TUESDAY has yet to win a race but he is capable on his day and looks well treated on his handicap debut.

Closely related to fair hurdle winner/high-class chaser Edwulf, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Grand Morning, stayed 3m. Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree/connections. 70,000euros 3yo; Milan gelding appeals on paper so this newcomer enters calculations.
2	7 2nd (7) (1/1 +71%) Triple Crown Ted		1 1/1(+71%)																															(7) Triple Crown Ted 1/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Some Invitation. Bred to need time and distance. 40,000euros 3yo; Walk In The Park gelding; in good hands and one to consider on debut.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/3 -11%) Caballo De Guerra		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(11) Caballo De Guerra 10/3, Soldier of Fortune gelding who shaped promisingly amidst greenness when third of 9 in bumper at Wetherby (16f, heavy) on debut 45 days ago, doing well to last as long in the conditions as he did given the hold he took. Looks the one to beat. Promising debut third at Wetherby; appeals as the sort to do a fair bit better; big player.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 +50%) Coylton King		25 25/1(+50%)																															(2) Coylton King 25/1, Bred to stay well so, while there was some sign of ability when sixth here on debut earlier in the month, he's likely to come good further down the line. Sixth of 14 in C&D bumper 15 days ago; this son of Jack Hobbs can build on it.
5th	12 5th (12) (100/1 -52%) Moira My Love		100 100/1(-52%)																															(12) Moira My Love 100/1, Jack Hobbs filly. Dam modest 3m hurdle winner. Likely to need some time. Jack Hobbs filly; others appeal more on this occasion.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/1 +0%) Count Adhemar		9 9/1(+0%)																															(1) Count Adhemar 9/1, €28,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Uncle Danny. Dam unraced. One to note on paper. Closely related to useful hurdler/chaser Uncle Danny; son of Westerner needs considering.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 +20%) Miss Mac		16 16/1(+20%)																															(10) Miss Mac 16/1, Kingston Hill mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler Corrieben Reiver, stays 2½m. Dam (b90) lightly raced in bumpers. Interesting on paper. Daughter of Kingston Hill; the betting can prove a good guide on her first run.
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 -133%) Flamin Court		14 14/1(-133%)																															(8) Flamin Court 14/1, Court Cave mare. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Secret Legacy. Worthy of respect for a stable that does well in this discipline. Irish newcomer can't be dismissed, especially if the market speaks in her favour.
9th	4 9th (4) (20/1 -122%) Littletown Lad		20 20/1(-122%)																															(4) Littletown Lad 20/1, €5,800 3-y-o, Casamento gelding. Dam (c106/h82) bumper/2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Third only outing in point bumper (Apr 2024). Not dismissed. Casamento gelding; third in a point bumper in April so can't be discounted.
10th	3 10th (3) (250/1 -279%) Gallus Norman		250 250/1(-279%)																															(3) Gallus Norman 250/1, Out of a winning hurdler but not a great deal of promise on debut here recently. Needs to improve markedly. Hooded when only ninth in bumper over C&D 15 days ago; needs to take a big step forward.
11th	9 11th (9) (25/1 -178%) Kanitamay		25 25/1(-178%)																															(9) Kanitamay 25/1, £40,000 3-y-o, Kapgarde mare. Dam, maiden over hurdles/fences in France, sister to Aintree Grand National winner Pineau de Re. Worth monitoring in the betting on debut. Kapgarde mare; a debutante to consider, especially if market vibes are positive.
12th	5 12th (5) (250/1 -150%) Lucius Verus		250 250/1(-150%)																															(5) Lucius Verus 250/1, Not much appeal on pedigree and showed little over C&D on debut 15 days ago. Beat only one in C&D bumper; significantly more is required from this son of Gladiatorus.

16:13 Ayr NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CABALLO DE GUERRA was a promising third on debut in a similar event at Wetherby last month and, given he was the market leader on that occasion, similar betting support for the four-year-old would be highly tempting now he has racecourse experience under his belt. The selection's stable companions, Triple Crown Ted and Kanitamay, bolster a potentially strong hand for Lucinda Russell. However, They're Chancers, who cost 70,000 euros as a three-year-old, and the well-bred Count Adhemar tick the right boxes on paper and rate the most intriguing of the debutants.

CABALLO DE GUERRA travelled well for a long way when an encouraging third at Wetherby on debut and, with an experience edge over most, he's fancied to open his account at the second attempt. They're Chancers and Count Adhemar are both notable newcomers for well-respected stables.

Lucinda Russell's CABALLO DE GUERRA made a promising start when third at Wetherby and looks the way to go with improvement on the cards

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.
