13:42 Ayr Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (8/15 +70%) Jupiter Des Mottes	0.533333 8/15(+70%)	(2) Jupiter Des Mottes 8/15, Looked a good prospect in winning his only outing in bumpers for Nicky Richards and did so again in making a successful start over hurdles upped in trip at Newcastle (20.3f) 10 months later. Sure to go on to better things. Created a good impression in landing Wetherby bumper and Newcastle novice hurde; player.
1	1 (1) (15/8 +25%) Crest Of Fortune	1.875 15/8(+25%)	(1) Crest Of Fortune 15/8, Bumper winner who made a winning start over hurdles at Ffos Las. Runner-up all 3 starts since, latterly in first-time blinkers (retained here) in 4-runner novice at Ascot (19.3f) 3 weeks ago. Obvious player on form. Runner-up last three outings, blinkered at Ascot last time; holds very good form claims.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -41%) Jehol De Thaix	12 12/1(-41%)	(4) Jehol De Thaix 12/1, Showed plenty to work on when second in a Uttoxeter bumper (15.8f) and similar story after 7 months off when third on hurdles bow at Kelso (16.2f) in December. Possibly found race coming too soon just over 3 weeks on when not in the same form here last time, so worth another chance. Shaped well when placed in Kelso maiden hurdle but only fifth here since; not written off.
5	5 (5) (33/1 +34%) Wholly Boley	33 33/1(+34%)	(5) Wholly Boley 33/1, Only modest form in bumpers in 2023 but won a point since and made a satisfactory start to his hurdle career when fifth in a 3m course maiden in January. Failed to progress back here last time, however. Failed to build on encouraging hurdling debut when C&D sixth; worth another chance.
6	6 (6) (250/1 -150%) Wor Lad	250 250/1(-150%)	(6) Wor Lad 250/1, Well held in 2 bumpers last spring and offered little on recent C&D hurdling debut. Offered little in a pair of bumpers and again on his hurdling debut when a C&D ninth.

13:42 Ayr Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

JUPITER DES MOTTES won a bumper at Wetherby in March last year and made a winning debut for these connections on his hurdling bow at Newcastle in January. The six-year-old looks to have a bright future and tops the shorlist here. Crest Of Fortune has filled second place on all three starts since winning at Ffos Las in November and is likely to be in the mix once again, while King Of Answers is the pick of the remainder.

An interesting small-field novice contested by 3 previous winners. JUPITER DES MOTTES again looked a good prospect when making a successful hurdling debut at Newcastle in January and is taken to defy a penalty en route to better things. Stablemate King of Answers forged clear in good style at the same venue last month and has to be feared with the performance supported by the clock. Crest of Fortune is the other key player on form despite being turned over at short odds on his most recent start.

Lucinda Russell's KING OF ANSWERS brings plenty of potential on the back of a stylish Newcastle victory and is taken to follow up here

14:17 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (11/8 +8%) Heads Or Harps	1.375 11/8(+8%)	(6) Heads Or Harps 11/8, Shaped very well on back of nearly 2 years off when fourth on yard/chase debut at Newcastle (20f) in January and did nothing to alter the fact he's a winner in waiting when second at Wetherby (19.4f) 10 days ago, tanking his way to the front before meeting the last wrong. Big player. Travelled well when second at Wetherby and this shorter trip could be just what he needs.
7	7 (7) (10/3 +44%) Tommy Combats	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(7) Tommy Combats 10/3, Steadily progressive without success over hurdles and further progress sent chasing this term, off the mark in handicap at Hexham (15.6f) in December. Good second over C&D next time and found himself poorly placed when fourth at Carlisle (20f) 19 days ago. Worth another chance. Below-par fourth at Carlisle but this unexposed 6yo could still have more to offer.
3	3 (3) (7/2 -17%) Dance Thief	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(3) Dance Thief 7/2, Reliable type who clearly likes it here, doubling his career tally in a 6-runner C&D handicap chase on penultimate start last month. Creditable display when second in 3-runner contest back here 12 days ago and whilst present mark demands more, he's respected again. Won over C&D on second chase start and bumped into useful prospect over C&D last time.
1	1 (1) (13/2 +19%) Chapel Green	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(1) Chapel Green 13/2, Down in weights when doubling his tally for the season at Musselburgh (15.8f) in November before a good second over C&D in January. However, never been the most reliable and he disappointed back at first-named venue 5 weeks ago. Yard look to hold stronger claims with Heads or Harps. Disappointing at Musselburgh last time but progressive previously and could bounce back.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -33%) Heritier	12 12/1(-33%)	(4) Heritier 12/1, Back to winning ways in 19f handicap hurdle at Carlisle in December. However, jumping let him down when fifth back over fences at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and lesser effort when last of 8 returned to hurdling back at Carlisle (17f) 33 days ago. Three-time chase winner; scored over hurdles in December but form has been mixed since.
2	2 (2) (20/1 -43%) Findthetime	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Findthetime 20/1, Landed a pair of small-field handicaps last winter for Nicky Richards but recent record distinctly patchy, adding a third consecutive non-completion to his tally when pulled up at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) 10 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a major way equipped with cheekpieces. Pulled up on last three starts and a major turnaround is needed in first-time cheekpieces.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -150%) Stylish Recruit	25 25/1(-150%)	(5) Stylish Recruit 25/1, Irish point winner who readily surpassed previous hurdling exploits when a game winner of a Hexham novice (16.2f) in June. Ran too bad to be true on back of wind surgery/6 months off when pulled up on chase debut at Carlisle in December. This will reveal more. Pulled up in sole chase but this lightly raced point/novice h'dle winner retains potential.

14:17 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

HEADS OR HARPS caught the eye when filling second place over 2m3f at Wetherby 10 days ago and this drop in trip could help him to go one better, despite a 4lb rise. Dance Thief scored over C&D two starts ago and hit the crossbar at this venue most recently. Those performances suggest that he may be the main threat to the selection, although Chapel Green and Tommy Combats should not be discounted.

HEADS OR HARPS again shaped with abundant promise when runner-up at Wetherby 10 days ago, tanking through the race before losing vital momentum when meeting the last wrong. He's very much of interest dropped in trip and can gain deserved compensation here. Tommy Combats and Dance Thief may pose the lead threats.

Having travelled well when second over an extended 2m3f recently, HEADS OR HARPS (nap) can capitalise on the drop back in trip.

14:50 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (10/3 +26%) Ruby Island	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(5) Ruby Island 10/3, Won on hurdles debut here in 2022. Lightly raced since but has run creditably in three starts for new stable, rallying to finish second at Carlisle (19.3f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Makes plenty of appeal with longer trip expected to suit. Excellent runner-up at Carlisle latest; this longer trip promises to suit so big shout.
2	2 (2) (5/1 -82%) Lavida Adiva	5 5/1(-82%)	(2) Lavida Adiva 5/1, Progressive mare bagged an Aintree handicap (2½m, soft) on Boxing Day and ran every bit as well in defeat when not enjoying a smooth passage finishing second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f) last month. She's going the right way and there could well be more improvement to come. Very good second in Market Rasen h'cap 18 days ago; up 3lb but she's firmly in the picture.
11	11 (11) (6/1 +63%) Anamanda	6 6/1(+63%)	(11) Anamanda 6/1, Finished creditable second over C&D on penultimate run and backed that up when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. In good heart but this is a step up in class and she'll need to improve from 5 lb out of the handicap. In good form, third at Musselburgh 20 days ago; 5lb out of the handicap here though.
8	8 (8) (15/2 -25%) Fox's Fancy	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(8) Fox's Fancy 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden hurdle winner improved for switch to handicaps when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f) in October and she could well be open to more improvement now back in mares company. Very interesting if ready to roll on return. Good fourth at Wetherby in October; needs considering despite near five-month layoff.
1	1 (1) (8/1 -23%) Sunday Soldier	8 8/1(-23%)	(1) Sunday Soldier 8/1, Improved in leaps and bounds over hurdles last season, completing a 5-timer in handicaps. Has shown enough this season to suggest she can go close from this sort of mark. Exceed expectations latest when keeping on to finish second in a mares Listed event and remains of interest back in a handicap. In good nick, runner-up in 2m5f Listed at Warwick latest; ought to be in the shake-up.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -100%) Just Call Me Lucy	12 12/1(-100%)	(7) Just Call Me Lucy 12/1, Bumper winer was off the mark in this sphere in 10-runner novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) on Boxing Day but denied herself the chance to follow up that victory when blundering 3 out last time, second of 5 at Carlistle (19.2f). Steps into warmer waters for handicap hurdle debut. Progressive sort; good second in Carlisle novice latest; not discounted now handicapping.
3	3 (3) (14/1 -27%) Sunset Hill	14 14/1(-27%)	(3) Sunset Hill 14/1, Opened hurdles account in 21f novice at Kelso in December before posting an excellent second of 7 in a Southwell handicap on New Year's Day. Ran to a similar level latest when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen, not suited by emphasis on speed. Should enjoy this stiffer test. Won at Kelso in December and a good close fifth at Market Rasen 18 days ago; considered.
9	9 (9) (14/1 +36%) Anti Bridgie	14 14/1(+36%)	(9) Anti Bridgie 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler in 2022/2023 season but has been campaigned over fences since, getting off the mark in a 2m4f chase at Warwick last season. Has gone off the boil this season, pulling up on her last 3 outings. Returns to smaller obstacles, but others in much better form at present. Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser but pulled up all three starts over fences this term.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +50%) Dollar Collar	14 14/1(+50%)	(6) Dollar Collar 14/1, Irish point winner quickly reached a fair level over hurdles last year but has struggled to match that form this season. Handicapper has given her a chance though, and she'd be relatively interesting if the market hints at a return to form. Beat only one in 2m3f Carlisle handicap 19 days ago; she needs to take a big step forward.
10	10 (10) (25/1 -39%) Santa Clarita	25 25/1(-39%)	(10) Santa Clarita 25/1, Ran best race for current yard when good second of 18 in a handicap hurdle at this course (20.4f, soft) in January, but followed it up with a very poor effort later that month. Needs to bounce back and faces uphill task from 2 lb out of the handicap. Yet to score for current yard but in good form until pulled up over C&D in January.
4	4 (4) (28/1 -100%) Mellificent	28 28/1(-100%)	(4) Mellificent 28/1, Winner on hurdles debut at Carlisle (2½m, soft) last October before finishing mid-field in listed mares' novice events on her next 2 outings. Departed through no fault of her own when sent handicapping on final run for Jonjo O'Neill in April and worth a market check on reappearance/stable debut. Off since unseated third at Aintree last May; needs to hit ground running for new yard.

14:50 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Cases can be made for plenty of these, but none more so than LAVIDA ADIVA. The six-year-old won over 2m4f at Aintree two starts ago and was unfortunate to bump into a well-handicapped rival when second at Market Rasen most recently. Sunday Soldier out ran her odds when second in Listed company at Warwick a month ago and she has to be on the shortlist. Others to note are Just Call Me Lucy, Fox's Fancy and Ruby Island.

Course-winner RUBY ISLAND is fairly handicapped on the best of her form, and makes most appeal with this longer trip expected to suit. She'll be best suited if this is a truly-run race, as will Fox's Fancy who is stepping back in distance following a highly encouraging handicap debut last season. The improving Lavida Adiva could be a threat to all if continuing her current upward trajectory.

A few with chances but in-form course scorer RUBY ISLAND can gain a deserved first victory for Nicky Richards now she steps up in trip

15:25 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (9/4 -13%) Apologise	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(3) Apologise 9/4, Signed off for Greenall/Guerriero with a win in November 2023 and picked up from where he'd left off when landing 18-runner handicap at Limerick over Christmas. Took another big step forward when scoring at Clonmel recently (in cheekpieces) and the British handicapper has reacted accordingly. On the up for current yard, scoring at Limerick/Clonmel; hiked up 16lb but well in the mix.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +56%) Thereisnodoubt	4 4/1(+56%)	(6) Thereisnodoubt 4/1, Veteran returned to form when fourth at Haydock in December. Not so good at Newbury in January but ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces having reverted to making the running when third at Carlisle (17f, soft) last time. Down another 2 lb but others more appealing for win purposes. Back on track in first-time cheekpieces with Carlisle third latest; no forlorn hope.
4	4 (4) (5/1 +85%) Perseus Way	5 5/1(+85%)	(4) Perseus Way 5/1, Useful winning juvenile hurdler for Gary Moore in 2022/23. Recorded couple of respectable placed efforts on Flat for Owen Burrows in autumn 2023 but no show over hurdles in 4 starts for Christian Williams and it was a similar story for his new yard here recently. Beat only one for new yard in handicap hurdle here 12 days ago; others appeal more.
1	1 (1) (11/2 -175%) Bashful	5.5 11/2(-175%)	(1) Bashful 11/2, Landed Musselburgh handicap hurdle (for second year in a row) last month having seemingly been laid out for the race and better than ever when following up from an 11 lb higher mark at Kelso (16.2f, soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Up another 5 lb but hard to discount in his current mood. Much improved since wind op and on hat-trick after wins at Musselburgh/Kelso; big player.
7	7 (7) (8/1 -129%) Medieval Gold	8 8/1(-129%)	(7) Medieval Gold 8/1, Fairly useful on Flat for William Haggas and made a good start over hurdles for new yard last year, going one better than on debut when winning maiden at Perth in May. Matched that form on handicap debut/return when third at Haydock (18.9f, heavy) 11 weeks ago and fancied to build on that. Won at Perth in May before a good Haydock third seven months later; needs considering.
5	5 (5) (11/1 -38%) Freddy Robinson	11 11/1(-38%)	(5) Freddy Robinson 11/1, Had a productive time of it on the Flat last year and continued the good work in this sphere, runner-up at Musselburgh in November before filling same spot at Sedgefield in January. Possibly found the race coming too soon at former course 6 days later so given a 5-week break to freshen up. In good form until only eighth at Musselburgh last month; he's the sort to bounce back.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +45%) Mack The Man	12 12/1(+45%)	(2) Mack The Man 12/1, Veteran who responded well to fitting of a visor, gaining a third win of 2024 over C&D in November. Found his run of good form coming to a halt of late, losing touch 4 out at Kelso just over 3 weeks ago. Others in better heart at present. C&D winner in November but this veteran has gone off the boil; has something to prove.

15:25 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Bashful may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests when going in by a length at Kelso last time and he holds an obvious chance off 6lb higher. However, it may pay to side with APOLOGISE, who is unbeaten in two starts since joining the Gary McGill stable. Considering the manner of his success at Clonmel last time, he could prove tough to beat. Thereisnodoubt is another to watch out for.

Cases can be made for most of the septet, but the suggestion is MEDIEVAL GOLD, who matched his previous exploits over hurdles switched to a handicap when third on return at Haydock in December and Micky Hammond's 5-y-o remains unexposed in this discipline. Apologise is thriving at present, so he heads up the dangers in search of an impressive 4-timer, with Bashful and Freddy Robinson taken to fight out minor honours.

Preference is for hat-trick seeker BASHFUL who hasn't looked back since undergoing a breathing operation and can defy a career-high mark

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (15/8 +17%) Cave Court	1.875 15/8(+17%)	(1) Cave Court 15/8, In good form over hurdles this winter, scoring at Naas 6 weeks ago. Did well in this sphere last season so is an interesting runner back over fences. Naas hurdles scorer latest; dual winning chaser last term so merits serious consideration.
3	3 (3) (5/2 +25%) Ned Tanner	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(3) Ned Tanner 5/2, Back on track fitted with headgear/tongue tie when scoring at Haydock and backed that up with good seconds there and Kelso. Likely to go well again. Rejuvenated of late and a very good second at Kelso latest; can make his presence felt.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +0%) Artic Row	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(5) Artic Row 9/2, Successful 3 times over C&D last season, including this corresponding race. Failed to complete first 2 starts this autumn but back on track when placed the last twice, beaten only by a bright prospect over C&D latest. Needs considering. C&D scorer; good second here 25 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up off the same mark.
2	2 (2) (5/1 -11%) Dare To Shout	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) Dare To Shout 5/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler who built on a promising chase debut when landing a 4-runner contest at Carlisle. Runner-up all 3 starts since, chasing home a well-treated sort over extended 23f at Kelso 3 weeks ago. Respected. In good nick, runner-up in Kelso h'cap chase 22 days ago; he can go well again eased 1lb.
4	4 (4) (9/1 -80%) Mr Saxobeat	9 9/1(-80%)	(4) Mr Saxobeat 9/1, Losing run is mounting up but easy to excuse latest run from out of the handicap. Not beaten far at Leopardstown the time before so not impossible. In decent nick, ninth in strong 2m1f Leopardstown handicap chase last month; possibilities.

16:00 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Cave Court was successful over the smaller obstacles at Naas on his most recent start and is an interesting contender back over fences. However, the vote goes to previous course winner NED TANNER, who was beaten two lengths into second in a good race at Kelso last month. The nine-year-old is only 1lb higher and he looks the way to go. Artic Row completes the shortlist.

CAVE COURT has thrived over hurdles this winter and can continue the good work back over fences (at least as good in this sphere). Arctic Row has an excellent record around here and is feared most ahead of the in-form Ned Tanner.

The vote goes to the progressive Irish challenger CAVE COURT who can return in style to fences and follow up his Naas hurdling success

8	8 (8) (9/2 +10%) Master Bricklayer	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(8) Master Bricklayer 9/2, Back to form in first-time cheekpieces when third of 10 in handicap hurdle here (20.4f, soft) 25 days ago, going in snatches. Not discounted off the same mark. Placed in 2m4f handicaps (including here) and there's stamina in his pedigree.
14	14 (14) (11/2 +54%) Didntgotwenty	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(14) Didntgotwenty 11/2, Lightly-raced sort who posted his best effort when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. No forlorn hope. Fourth on handicap debut at Musselburgh and this track could be more suitable; contender.
10	10 (10) (13/2 +54%) Our Zebo	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(10) Our Zebo 13/2, Maiden hurdler/chaser who came in a below-par sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 89 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward after a break. Of interest on last year's point/chase form but no threat back hurdling the last twice.
1	1 (1) (8/1 +6%) Miami Steve	8 8/1(+6%)	(1) Miami Steve 8/1, Not disgraced on his handicap debut when last of 4 at Bangor (23.2f, heavy) 29 days ago, needing stiffer test. Enters calculations in his bid for a maiden success. Last of four on handicap debut at Bangor but that may have been a warm little race.
9	9 (9) (8/1 -60%) Glory Hights	8 8/1(-60%)	(9) Glory Hights 8/1, Got off the mark at Carlisle in November and has continued in good form, fifth of 14 at Doncaster 17 days ago. Weighted to go well eased 1 lb. 9yo who has been in pretty good heart this season and is in with an each-way shout.
12	12 (12) (8/1 +0%) Boolamore Classic	8 8/1(+0%)	(12) Boolamore Classic 8/1, Course winner in January and backed it up with a solid third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) 44 days ago. Possibilities. Won over 2m5f here in January; faded into third over 3m since but not ruled out.
15	15 (15) (12/1 +45%) Fathers Advice	12 12/1(+45%)	(15) Fathers Advice 12/1, Remains a maiden after 30 runs and had a wind op before a below-par fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Goes back over hurdles with work to do. Now 0-30 and is going beyond an extended 2m4f for the first time; others preferred.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -140%) Ninetofive	12 12/1(-140%)	(4) Ninetofive 12/1, Got back on track when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (22f) 39 days ago. Can make his presence felt nudged up 1 lb in bid for breakthrough victory. Runner-up in Newcastle handicap on second start back from a long absence; one to consider.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -14%) Jirko	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Jirko 16/1, Yet to make the frame in three runs over hurdles and came in only eighth of 10 in novice here (16f, soft) 65 days ago. Goes up in trip for his handicap debut with more required. Takes big step up in trip on handicap debut; watch the betting (one of three for the yard).
2	2 (2) (18/1 -64%) Lord De Vinci	18 18/1(-64%)	(2) Lord De Vinci 18/1, Fair form shown in three starts, fifth of 12 in novice hurdle here (20.4f, soft) 25 days ago. Much respected now going into handicaps. Not obviously well treated off opening mark but could improve for the step up in trip.
3	3 (3) (22/1 -57%) Monsieur Le Fuzz	22 22/1(-57%)	(3) Monsieur Le Fuzz 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden who failed to improve on his handicap bow when sixth of 9 at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to soft) 50 days ago, going in snatches. Could bounce back now with cheekpieces added. Merely sixth of nine on handicap debut but perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will help.
13	13 (13) (22/1 +21%) Toucan Sam	22 22/1(+21%)	(13) Toucan Sam 22/1, Remains a maiden after 21 runs and a below-form seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, good) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Still a maiden after 21 rules runs and recent evidence doesn't indicate a win is imminent.
6	6 (6) (25/1 +24%) Alltalknoaction	25 25/1(+24%)	(6) Alltalknoaction 25/1, In the frame in maiden/novice hurdles but he was pulled up on his handicap debut at Wetherby (3m) in January. Improvement needed in first-time blinkers. 40-1 when pulled up on handicap debut at Wetherby; transformation needed now in blinkers.
11	11 (11) (25/1 +50%) Rob Roy Macgregor	25 25/1(+50%)	(11) Rob Roy Macgregor 25/1, Seems to have lost his way, tried in cheekpieces when pulled up at Newcastle last time. Opposable. Bumper winner but he's struggled in handicaps; pulled up on both runs this winter.
5	5 (5) (28/1 +15%) Powers Dilemma	28 28/1(+15%)	(5) Powers Dilemma 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden who returned from 9 months off with a poor eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle here (20.4f, soft) 25 days ago. Needs to get back on track. 3m point runner-up who could be a big improver on his second start back from a break.
16	16 (16) (50/1 -52%) Iturgeon Du Breuil	50 50/1(-52%)	(16) Iturgeon Du Breuil 50/1, Yet to score and he arrives out of sorts, blinkered when tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, good) 17 days ago. Tongue strap goes on for first time. Placed twice in a row last spring but unable to reproduce that promise more recently.

16:35 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

MASTER BRICKLAYER finished in the money on both previous attempts over hurdles at this venue and he could be worth chancing given his potential for progress in this discipline now he steps up in trip. Ninetofive also appears to be on an upwards trajectory and is another who should appreciate the additional yardage, while Boolamore Classic and Miami Steve are just a couple of other notable contenders.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and GLORY HIGHTS is taken to resume winning ways and edge out in-form maidens Miami Steve and Ninetofive. Course-scorer Boolamore Classic is another to consider along with the lightly-raced Didntgotwenty.

Staying may well be POWERS DILEMMA's game and he gets the nod now up in trip on his second start back from an absence.

Dam (h96), bumper winner (stayed 21f), half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Midnight Tour. Has had wind surgery. Represents a yard with a strong record in bumpers at this course. 60,000euros 3yo; respected newcomer for trainer who has healthy strike-rate in bumpers.
3	3 (3) (7/2 -5%) Geordie Mackem	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(3) Geordie Mackem 7/2, Fair form when placed in bumpers at Wetherby and Newcastle this winter. Another prominent showing is likely. Placed in both bumpers and sets the standard on rules form; solid claims.
6	6 (6) (9/2 -35%) The Hatchet	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(6) The Hatchet 9/2, £105,000 after finishing runner-up on his only outing in Irish points (Dec 2024). The yard won this with an Irish point recruit last year so a market move would be very interesting. Runner-up in a point in December then sold for £105,000; good yard for rules career.
2	2 (2) (10/1 -100%) Daly Boy	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Daly Boy 10/1, £60,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in an Irish point in December. Interesting runner. Changed hands for £60,000 after point win and new stable does well in bumpers.

The stable saddled a first-time-out bumper winner here recently so a market move for this one would be interesting. 70,000euros 3yo; trainer saddled a winning bumper newcomer here recently; interesting.
11	11 (11) (12/1 +14%) Redeeming Love	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Redeeming Love 12/1, £78,000 purchase after finishing third in an Irish point last May. Another runner in this line-up who needs checking out ion the betting. Third in a point and her dam did very well for this yard; could be in the mix.
5	5 (5) (22/1 -144%) Sanilam	22 22/1(-144%)	(5) Sanilam 22/1, Malinas half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Haute Estime, stays 3¾m, and fair 19f hurdle winner An Taibhse. The betting should guide to expectations with this Irish raider. Half-brother to two winners; this Irish raider is one to watch in the betting on debut.
10	10 (10) (28/1 -40%) Miss Mac	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Miss Mac 28/1, 16/1, seventh of 12 in C&D bumper (soft) on debut 46 days ago. Improvement needed on second start but that's possible; might not be far away.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -60%) Walk On Son	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) Walk On Son 40/1, 10/1, eighth of 9 in bumper at Hexham in October. Tongue tie added on return (has had wind surgery). The Hatchet looks the yard's first string unless the betting suggests otherwise. Very early days and things may click at some stage, but he was tailed off on his debut.
12	12 (12) (40/1 -21%) L'insurge	40 40/1(-21%)	(12) L'insurge 40/1, Tunis gelding. Half-brother to fair French chaser Idylle Fleurie. Probably best watched on debut. There's some potential in his pedigree but he may be one for further down the line.

Third in an Irish point last May. Hooded for Rules debut. Third in a point on debut but soundly beaten; sold for £13,000; may be best watched.

17:10 Ayr NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

There are some interesting newcomers to monitor in the betting, with the likes of Je Mr Dawson, Wanderinginthedark and point-to-point second The Hatchet all noted as potentially decent prospects. However, the experience held by GEORDIE MACKEM could prove vital and the Brian Ellison-trained five-year-old tops the shortlist after two promising placed efforts at Wetherby and Newcastle. Daly Boy was second on his only point-to-point start and could be the biggest danger.

Lucinda Russell won this with a point recruit last year so THE HATCHET is the suggestion before any market clues are known. Wanderinginthedark and Daly Boy are other interesting Rules newcomers, while Geordie Mackem should figure on the back of 2 placed efforts this winter.

Nicky Richards does very well in bumpers here and 60,000euros newcomer WANDERINGINTHEDARK is the selection.

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.
