13:15 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 1) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (15/2 -7%) Tommy's Oscar	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(1) Tommy's Oscar 15/2, Very smart chaser proved better than ever when making a winning return at Kelso. Not beaten too far when fourth of 5 at Doncaster (16.4f, soft) last time, albeit comprimising his chance by jumping right-handed late on. Respected. Won off this mark in October and fair run at Doncaster last time; not ruled out.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 -13%) Traprain Law	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(5) Traprain Law 9/2, Steadily progressive over hurdles and got off the mark at the second attempt in this sphere when scoring at Kelso (17f, heavy) just after Christmas. Even better form when jumping/travelling fluently to make all over C&D (heavy) 54 days ago and he should have more to offer. 2-4 over fences having easily made all over C&D last time; could make another bold bid.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/4 +18%) Sans Bruit	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(4) Sans Bruit 9/4, Ex-French gelding jumped his rivals into submission from the front when the 15-runner Red Rum Handicap Chase (15.8f, soft, 5/1) 9 days ago. Very much the type to go on improving and makes plenty of appeal bidding to follow up. Dominant in the Red Rum at Aintree nine days ago and a 10lb rise may not stop him.
4	6 4th (6) (6/1 +8%) Persian Time	6 6/1(+8%)	(6) Persian Time 6/1, Slightly fortunate to land a 4-runner novice handicap at Ascot in December and after a lesser effort at Cheltenham, got back on the up when landing a 5-runner handicap at Kempton (18f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Hard to discount having been nudged up only 3 lb. 2-4 over fences and top trainer has won three of the last six runnings; could have big say.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/2 +0%) Uncle Phil	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Uncle Phil 9/2, Won novice events at Kilbeggan and Listowel in the summer before notching his third win over fences in an 11-runner handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17.3f, soft) in January, jumping well and travelling enthusiastically. 11 lb higher now but has to be respected. Made all at Fairyhouse latest; progressive for top Irish yard and has to be respected.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/2 +0%) Pembroke	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(3) Pembroke 9/2, Sole finisher under gruelling conditions in 4-runner Aintree novice chase prior to Christmas. Seemingly better form when third in a Lingfield Grade 2 the following but ended race in rather tame fashion at Kempton last time. Others preferred overall. Below par latest but wind op since; in calculations judged on January's Grade 2 third.

13:15 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Sans Bruit sauntered home in the Red Rum Handicap Chase at Aintree nine days ago and, despite a 10lb hike in the ratings, he must be respected turned out quickly. The prize might be going back to Ireland, though, courtesy of UNCLE PHIL. The Walk In The Park gelding recorded a cosy success in a Grade 3 handicap at Fairyhouse in January and a subsequent 11lb rise might not be enough to stop the unexposed chaser from going in again. Traprain Law can chase the pair home.

SANS BRUIT was most impressive when routing a bigger field at Aintree last week and Paul Nicholls' unexposed six-year-old should be able to take a 10 lb rise in his stride. Uncle Phil has already developed into a smart chaser and rates as a major threat as part of the raiding Mullins battalion, with Traprain Law also capable of adding to his positive C&D record.

Nicky Henderson has won three of the last six runnings and his progressive 6yo PERSIAN TIME earns the vote following his Kempton win.

13:15 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 1) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (7/1 +42%) Sharjah	7 7/1(+42%)	(1) Sharjah 7/1, Has come to chasing quite late but this dual Champion Hurdle second has taken well to it, winning a Grade 3 at Tipperary in October. Ran no sort of race in Golden Miller at the Cheltenham Festival last time but back down in class and opening mark in this sphere is a fair one. Trip could be an issue. Downgraded from Grade 1s but stamina an issue on this belated first run beyond 2m4f.
2	11 2nd (11) (11/1 +21%) Ballycoose	11 11/1(+21%)	(11) Ballycoose 11/1, Made a successful chase debut here (20.5f) in January and backed it up with a solid second of 5 in handicap chase over 2m here. Shaped as if still in good form here since (joined when bad mistake 3 out). Back up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has a good record here but today's race demands his best form yet; new tongue-tie.
3	13 3rd (13) (10/1 +44%) Donny Boy	10 10/1(+44%)	(13) Donny Boy 10/1, Improved from a tentative performance on chase debut when only just failing in a 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (23.4f, good to soft) in December. However, failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts and steps up in class now. Headgear applied. Probably no more than place claims even if the cheekpieces trigger something.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 -9%) Abuffalosoldier	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Abuffalosoldier 12/1, Had a host of new variables (breathing operation and more positive ride in first-time cheekpieces) when opening chase account in fine style at Newbury (22.4f, soft) in January. However, never looked like getting away from his rivals off revised mark there next time and this even tougher. Again ran well last time but was behind Deeper Blue and he looks high in the weights.
5th	10 5th (10) (17/2 +15%) Hitching Jacking	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(10) Hitching Jacking 17/2, Back-to-back winner of novice hurdles last season and stepped up on his low-key chase debut when third at Doncaster (20.5f, soft). Similar form when filling same position at Kempton (24f, good to soft) since but more needed in this deeper race. Stamina to prove but trainer is persevering over this far and he's well handicapped.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 -6%) Marble Sands	9 9/1(-6%)	(2) Marble Sands 9/1, Developed into a useful hurdler last term and has won 2 of 5 starts switched to fences this season (both under this rider), including a Musselburgh novices handicap (20.3f, good to soft). Ran to a fair level on Flat debut since and remains of interest back in this sphere. Excuses both starts at 3m. Often highly tried hurdling and chasing; impressed in a Musselburgh handicap.
7th	12 7th (12) (13/2 +41%) Maclaine	6.5 13/2(+41%)	(12) Maclaine 13/2, Seemed suited by the step up in trip when off the mark over fences in impressive fashion at Newbury (22.4f, good to soft, 3/1) 29 days ago, travelling strongly. This much more competitive but he's still lightly raced so may progress further. First run beyond 2m4f when impressing over 2m6f at Newbury; 8lb higher but respected.
8th	6 8th (6) (25/1 -39%) Special Rate	25 25/1(-39%)	(6) Special Rate 25/1, Has enjoyed a most productive campaign over hurdles/fences, making it 7 wins from 8 starts this season in match at Kelso (23.4f, soft) 2 months ago, already in command when sole rival fell 2 out. Just respectable third there since but short break may have done him some good. Can make mistakes (as was the case last time) but there's no knocking his strike-rate.
9th	9 9th (9) (7/1 -27%) Montgomery	7 7/1(-27%)	(9) Montgomery 7/1, Lightly-raced winning hurdler for Christian Williams. Progressive sent chasing for his new yard, making it 3 from 3 in 5-runner handicap chase at Bangor (24.1f, heavy, 8/11) 28 days ago, well on top finish. This much more competitive but could well have more to give. Got there in the end at Bangor to bring up the hat-trick but it wasn't impressive.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (12/1 -71%) Inch House	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Inch House 12/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who has progressed well for switch to chasing, landing back-to-back handicaps at Newbury prior to a solid second at Cheltenham (25.2f). However, looked ungainly when disappointed at Newbury since so needs to bounce back. Tongue strap on 1st time. Sharp improver this season over fences before running no race last time; capable.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (7/1 +0%) Deeper Blue	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Deeper Blue 7/1, Runner-up on 3 of his 4 starts in handicap chases since returning from a 12-month absence in October, including when proving his stamina at Newbury (23.4f) last time. First-time headgear could help and should be on the premises again. Looks strong form for the grade when second at Newbury; up 3lb and now in cheekpieces.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (12/1 +0%) Mofasa	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Mofasa 12/1, Dual hurdles winner for Michael Scudamore last term and positive start over fences for this yard, building on debut promise in this sphere when landing a 3m Huntingdon handicap in November. Disappointed both starts since, however, and this a tough race to bounce back in. Behind Deeper Blue and Abuffalosoldier last time at Newbury; has to get back on track.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (16/1 -88%) Young Buster	16 16/1(-88%)	(4) Young Buster 16/1, Won one of 4 starts over hurdles and has taken very well to chasing, completing hat-trick in a 5-runner handicap at Kelso (22.3f, heavy) over Christmas. Had winning run ended from a mark 21 lb higher than when it started when third a Doncaster yet still emerged with plenty of credit. This tougher. Won his first three over fences and a late mistake scuppered him last time at Doncaster.

13:50 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Dan Skelton landed the corresponding event 12 months ago and he looks have another solid contender in the form of HITCHING JACKING. The seven-year-old has shown moderate form across his three fencing starts to date, but the handicapper has somewhat relented and it could be that forecast soft ground holds the key. Montgomery continued his upward trajectory when completing a hat-trick at Bangor last month and is respected, while Marble Sands should not be underestimated either.

An open affair with the vote going to MARBLE SANDS, who made it 2 from 2 for this rider at Musselburgh and still looks to be on a fair mark. Maclaine makes the shortlist given the manner of his stylish win at Newbury, while the classy Sharjah can make his presence felt down in class if his stamina holds up.

Jonjo O'Neill's INCH HOUSE was below par last time but is taken to prove himself well handicapped in the first-time tongue-tie.

14:25 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 1) 16f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +50%) Favour And Fortune	5 5/1(+50%)	(6) Favour And Fortune 5/1, Landed the odds on his first 2 starts over hurdles and has shown very useful form since, posting a solid sixth of 11 to Slade Steel in Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy) 39 days ago. Merits consideration on his handicap debut. Useful novice who was sixth in the Supreme at Cheltenham; needs to hurdle more fluently.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 +25%) Bialystok	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) Bialystok 9/1, Useful on Flat in France and plenty of good efforts to his name over hurdles without winning this term. Only 15th in County at Cheltenham (16.8f, heavy) last time but no surprise to see him get back on track for leading stable. Beat only one other finisher in the County at Cheltenham; bit to prove off unchanged mark.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/1 +56%) Cracking Rhapsody	11 11/1(+56%)	(11) Cracking Rhapsody 11/1, Improving young hurdler who bagged his third win from five starts in 17-runner Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, soft) last month by 4½ lengths from Ginger Mail. 8 lb higher now but has more to offer. Big shout. Progressing fast; stormed home to win Morebattle at Kelso; big weight rise fully justified.
4	10 4th (10) (10/1 +29%) Afadil	10 10/1(+29%)	(10) Afadil 10/1, C&D winner who arrives in very good nick, coming in third of 19 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (16.5f, soft) 8 days ago. Can go well again off an unchanged mark. Fine efforts in some of the warmest 2m handicaps; should be in the thick of things again.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/4 +31%) L'eau Du Sud	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(5) L'eau Du Sud 11/4, Dual hurdles winner in France who has taken his form up a level of late with excellent second placings in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury and County Hurdle at Cheltenham. Up another 3 lb but he's still not taken lightly. Runner-up in Betfair and County Hurdles; has a rock-solid profile and should go well again.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 +17%) Rubaud	10 10/1(+17%)	(1) Rubaud 10/1, Has continued on an upward trajectory this term, bringing up the 4-timer in a C&D Grade 2 in November. Ran a rare poor race when last of five in the mud in Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton last time but this C&D winner is very much the sort to bounce back after a break. Bids for back-to-back successes in this race; would benefit from the ground drying out.
7th	9 7th (9) (28/1 -12%) Petit Tonnerre	28 28/1(-12%)	(9) Petit Tonnerre 28/1, Useful hurdler at his best who failed to score over fences this term and ran poorly tried visored back in this sphere at Cheltenham last time. Cheekpieces are reached for now. Finished last in last month's County Hurdle; tries new headgear again.
8th	13 8th (13) (6/1 +70%) Florida Dreams	6 6/1(+70%)	(13) Florida Dreams 6/1, Landed maiden hurdle over C&D in December. Not disgraced when fifth in Aintree Grade 1 on Boxing Day and when third in 3m Musselburgh novice last time. No forlorn hope back in trip for his handicap bow. Grade 2 bumper winner; hasn't hit the same heights over hurdles but may still be unexposed.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 -38%) Westport Cove	22 22/1(-38%)	(3) Westport Cove 22/1, Debut hurdles winner at Thurles in November and took his form up a notch when third of 12 to Effernock Fizz in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 21 days ago. Not discounted for top yard. Hit and miss so far but may not be fully exposed; strongly run race should suit him.
15	15 \|F\| (15) (50/1 -100%) Alvaniy	50 50/1(-100%)	(15) Alvaniy 50/1, Got off the mark in 2m maiden hurdle at Galway in September but has failed to build on it since, pulled up in Betfair Hurdle at Newbury last time. Others appeal more. Disappointing in three British races; hard to recommend from 8lb out of the handicap.
10th	8 10th (8) (33/1 -32%) Effernock Fizz	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Effernock Fizz 33/1, Ended a long losing run in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 21 days ago, forging clear. Needs considering despite taking a 9 lb hike in the weights. Splendidly tough 9yo who rallied to score at Fairyhouse; still well treated on old form.
11th	12 11th (12) (20/1 +39%) Ginger Mail	20 20/1(+39%)	(12) Ginger Mail 20/1, Consistent type who resumed winning ways at Kelso in January. Posted another very good effort when runner-up to Cracking Rhapsody in Morebattle Hurdle there last time so must enter calculations. Likeable 2m hurdler; second to Cracking Rhapsody in the Morebattle; bit more required.
12th	14 12th (14) (20/1 +0%) Salsada	20 20/1(+0%)	(14) Salsada 20/1, Useful Flat winner who took a big step back in the right direction when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, good to soft) 21 days ago, best work at the finish. Weighted to go well off the same mark. Good fifth in this last year; 8lb wrong this time but useful claimer booked; not ruled out.
13th	7 13th (7) (66/1 -32%) Benson	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Benson 66/1, Made it hurdle victory number 6 at Musselburgh on New Year's Day but his more recent form is far less encouraging, only 17th in Coral Cup at Cheltenham last time. Others appeal more. Good runs at Musselburgh this winter but subdued last two starts; others preferred.
14th	2 14th (2) (11/1 +21%) First Street	11 11/1(+21%)	(2) First Street 11/1, Smart winning hurdler who is holding his form well this season, placed for the fourth consecutive start when third to Lossiemouth in International Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft) 84 days ago. Since had a wind op and ought to be in the shake-up. Smart 2m hurdler at his best, bit below par this season; has had wind surgery.

14:25 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

L'eau Du Sud ought to prove popular having finished a good second in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last month, but FAVOUR AND FORTUNE gets the vote. Far from disgraced in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle last time out, a handicap mark of 138 should be well within range. He finished second to Jango Baie, who was an unfortunate runner-up in a warm handicap at Aintree recently, in a Grade 1 at the Liverpool track on Boxing Day, and that looks a solid piece of form now. Afadil is also noted.

CRACKING RHAPSODY was very strong at the finish when landing Kelso's Morebattle Hurdle and Ewan Whillans' upwardly-mobile hurdler can make light of an 8 lb rise in the weights to complete a hat-trick. County Hurdle runner-up L'Eau du Sud must go well again and heads the list of dangers, while Salsada teed herself up well for this when a resurgent third at Newcastle and is also highly respected. Rubaud and First Street complete the shortlist in this highly competitive handicap.

The most solid option is L'EAU DU SUD after excellent seconds in the Betfair and County Hurdles. Cracking Rhapsody is second choice.

15:00 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (12/1 +52%) Czech Her Out	12 12/1(+52%)	(7) Czech Her Out 12/1, Better than ever when making a winning start for the Lucinda Russell stable at Perth (3m) in August and good second when narrowly denied at Kelso next time. Off 4 months and stuck to her task well at Ayr last month. Return to 3m is sure to suit. Stayed on for third over 2m5f here last time; could be in the mix if conditions suit.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/2 +13%) Coco Mademoiselle	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Coco Mademoiselle 7/2, Winning Irish pointer who landed the odds in Lingfield novice hurdle in November and made the most of a good opportunity when going in again at Chepstow last month. Hasn't really been crying out for 3m but opening mark is very fair. Made it 2-5 over hurdles with novice win at Chepstow; retains potential now back in h'cap.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -71%) Saylavee	12 12/1(-71%)	(1) Saylavee 12/1, Looked promising in 2022 but hasn't kicked on quite as expected since. Brace of runner-up efforts last term more like it and she's one of 3 Willie Mullins representatives tackling a new trip. Goes up in trip; one of three for top Irish trainer and she's not ruled out.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 +25%) Ottizzini	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) Ottizzini 9/1, Had looked exposed prior to winning 5-runner novice hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) in February, making all and well on top finish. Had the run of the race on that occasion and not quite at that level when second in listed company a month later. Handicap bow up in trip. Went close in Listed mares' novice at Doncaster last time and entitled to respect.
5th	10 5th (10) (10/3 +39%) Larchmont Lass	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(10) Larchmont Lass 10/3, Useful form in bumpers, including a Sandown listed win last March. Showed improved form to get off the mark over hurdles at Wincanton (21.4f, soft) in February and would have finished closer with a clear run in the EBF Final at Newbury. Big player from the same mark upped in distance. Fourth in competitive 2m4f handicap at Newbury and may have more to offer now up in trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -71%) Pink In The Park	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Pink In The Park 12/1, Maiden/novice winner around this time last year and cranked it up another notch in form terms when second in Grade 3 company in December. Rare off day in Grade 1 company last month and likely to bounce back now handicapping up in trip. Well beaten last time but a case can be made on best form; one of three for Willie Mullins.
7th	11 7th (11) (12/1 +57%) Presenting Nelly	12 12/1(+57%)	(11) Presenting Nelly 12/1, Won mares' hurdles at Worcester (maiden) and Newton Abbot (novice) last summer and after unsuccessful attempt at chasing, she looked back on song when fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, heavy). 3m not certain to suit by any means and she's out of the weights. Engaged 5.00 here Friday. Ready winner over 2m4f here yesterday; more to prove up in trip from out of the weights.
8th	9 8th (9) (18/1 -29%) Phillapa Sue	18 18/1(-29%)	(9) Phillapa Sue 18/1, Winner of a 3m Doncaster mares handicap hurdle in December and bounced back from a brace of lesser efforts when landing 4-runner chase on debut over fences a month ago. Just 2 lb higher back over timber. Won over hurdles in December and back to form with chase debut win last month; chance.
9th	6 9th (6) (40/1 -122%) Condesa	40 40/1(-122%)	(6) Condesa 40/1, Returned from a very long absence to win a 2m Perth novice hurdle in July. Seemed to find 2½m on heavy ground stretching her when remote fourth next time but given 4 months off, was back in form when second at Sedgefield in January. Heavy defeat on handicap debut needs casting aside upped in trip. Pulled up on handicap debut but much better than that; not written off now up in trip.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (10/3 -11%) A Penny A Hundred	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(2) A Penny A Hundred 10/3, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner on first 2 starts during second half of 2023. Fared as well as could be expected when fourth in Grade 1 company last month and she's the choice of Paul Townend. Lightly raced 5yo; could be suited by the step up in trip; Paul Townend rides; contender.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (50/1 -257%) Flower Of Scotland	50 50/1(-257%)	(8) Flower Of Scotland 50/1, Borders National winner at Kelso last term before good third in Edinburgh National. Reportedly suffered a setback following low-key reappearance in November and little to shout about both starts since. Stamina is assured back hurdling. On a handy mark but has been well below her best over fences this season.

15:00 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

SAYLAVEE and Pink In The Park both go for the Willie Mullins yard, with slight preference for the former after she was beaten eight lengths by Hispanic Moon, who went on to hit the frame in the Mares' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, at Punchestown in February. The daughter of Shantou could unlock further improvement for this step up in distance and she gets the vote. As for the latter, she will find this a lot easier than her eighth in Grade 1 company at Fairyhouse last time, while Larchmont Lass and Coco Mademoiselle are others to keep an eye on.

LARCHMONT LASS shaped with a good deal of promise on handicap debut in the EBF Final at Newbury a month ago and with 3m sure to suit, she's a very attractive proposition from the same mark. Willie Mullins is triple-handed, with A Penny A Hundred probably the pick of the trio. Of the rest, Coco Mademoiselle is a big player if lasting out over this new trip.

Having returned from a break with a staying-on third over 2m5f here last month, CZECH HER OUT earns the vote now back up in trip.

15:35 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 1) 32f - 26 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (18/1 -157%) Macdermott	18 18/1(-157%)	(11) Macdermott 18/1, Promising 6-y-o who looked a different proposition stepped up to around 3m for the first time when readily making all at Fairyhouse 19 days ago. Faces a much greater stamina test now but there's surely more to come from this lightly-raced sort from an all-conquering yard. Would be first 6yo to win this for 30 years but latest run showed major staying potential.
2	20 2nd (20) (20/1 +39%) Surrey Quest	20 20/1(+39%)	(20) Surrey Quest 20/1, Dual hurdles winner for Nicky Henderson and improved when bagging chase victories Huntingdon and Newbury either side of Christmas. His run of good form came to a halt when only tenth in the Great Yorkshire at Doncaster (3m, good) in January but the sort to bounce back. Will stay long distances. Won first two for the yard; well treated judged on latter win (3m2f) but below form latest.
3	19 3rd (19) (8/1 +20%) Git Maker	8 8/1(+20%)	(19) Git Maker 8/1, Good strike-rate under Rules, winning 6 of 11 starts. Better than ever when 8 lengths second to Inothewayurthinkin in Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3¼m, soft), pulling 18 lengths clear of Whacker Clan in third. The winner boosted that form when landing a Grade 1 novice at Aintree last week. On good mark. Subsequent Grade 1 winner beat him in the Kim Muir.
4	21 4th (21) (50/1 -100%) Klarc Kent	50 50/1(-100%)	(21) Klarc Kent 50/1, Went close to a first chase success on 21.5f Fairyhouse handicap debut at the end of March. The much longer trip asks a different question but he's another unexposed one in this for his top stable. 0-6 over hurdles/fences but some places this term and serious stamina tests could suit.
5th	5 5th (5) (66/1 -100%) Ontheropes	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Ontheropes 66/1, Smart earlier in his career but hasn't shown much obvious promise in 3 outings since returning from a long absence. 2021 win at Limerick (3m, soft) is his career-best form by some way and his only chase win.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +40%) Spanish Harlem	12 12/1(+40%)	(6) Spanish Harlem 12/1, Progressing gradually over fences, finishing third in maiden events around 2½m on all 3 starts. Fascinating contender now stepping up markedly in trip for handicap chase debut. Going beyond 2m4f may be overdue but recent runs are no proof that he can cut it in this.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 +36%) Ballygrifincottage	16 16/1(+36%)	(10) Ballygrifincottage 16/1, Low-mileage chaser who warmed up for this by finishing second in a 3m Sandown handicap last month. His stamina has to be taken on trust but his trainer has few peers when it comes to teeing one up for big handicaps. 2nd at Sandown (3m) latest; back up 3lb but going beyond 3m1f for first time could help.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 +20%) Iron Bridge	20 20/1(+20%)	(8) Iron Bridge 20/1, Bumper/dual hurdle winner who quickly developed into a smart chaser. Best of the rest behind Nassalam in Welsh National at Chepstow over Christmas before excellent third in Grand National Trial at Haydock in February. A subsequent no show in the Midlands National since needs forgiving, though. Placed in major handicaps and 4m should suit but this season presents rather a mixed story.
9th	9 9th (9) (40/1 +60%) Whistleinthedark	40 40/1(+60%)	(9) Whistleinthedark 40/1, Won first 4 chases last season but has found ife tougher this time round, finishing well behind Git Maker and Whacker Clan in Kim Muir at Cheltenham last month. Backward steps in major handicaps last two starts; soft ground possibly against him latest.
17	17 \|F\| (17) (10/1 +38%) Inis Oirr	10 10/1(+38%)	(17) Inis Oirr 10/1, Much improved for a first-time visor and an increased stamina test when bolting up in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh (4m, good to soft) in February. Presumably saved for this since by a Scottish yard which won this in 2021. Up 14lb today but his 3m7f Musselburgh win could hardly have been more authoritative.
26	26 \|U\| (26) (25/1 +24%) We'llhavewan	25 25/1(+24%)	(26) We'llhavewan 25/1, Winner of 3 handicap hurdles this season. Good second back chasing at Punchestown in February but could only manage a well-held sixth in the Irish Grand National over Easter. 5 lb out of handicap. 2nd in Grand National Trial but 26l sixth in Irish National itself; 5lb out of handicap.
10th	15 10th (15) (22/1 -10%) Autonomous Cloud	22 22/1(-10%)	(15) Autonomous Cloud 22/1, Largely progressive chaser who bounced back from his no show in the Welsh National when 7¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Beauport in the Midlands version at Uttoxeter (4¼m, heavy) last month. Respected. Back in serious contention latest in Midlands National (4m2f, heavy) but ran out of steam.
11th	18 11th (18) (14/1 +13%) My Silver Lining	14 14/1(+13%)	(18) My Silver Lining 14/1, Progressive mare who relished the increased test of stamina when bagging her fourth chase win in Classic Chase at Warwick (29f, soft) in January. Excellent placed efforts in the Grand National Trial at Haydock and Midlands National at Uttoxeter (2¼ lengths third to Beauport) since. Should go well. Rock solid this term, including a win and two places in major long-distance handicaps.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (4/1 +80%) Mr Vango	4 4/1(+80%)	(14) Mr Vango 4/1, Maiden hurdle winner last season and this former point scorer has quickly made up into a much better chaser, producing a useful performance when routing his rivals in Devon National at Exeter. Backed that up when third in National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham Festival. Cheekpieces worn then retained. Nearly 3m7f at Exeter (heavy) in February when he made all to win by 60l; 3rd in NH Chase.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (7/1 -17%) Mr Incredible	7 7/1(-17%)	(2) Mr Incredible 7/1, Has looked quirky but no doubting his ability, placing in another good handicap when splitting Beauport and My Silver Lining in the Midlands National on Uttoxeter reappearance. In rear (lost several lengths at start) when unseating halfway in Grand National last weekend. 2nd in Midlands National (4m2f, heavy) after 336 days off; hampered at Aintree last week.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (14/1 -75%) Anglers Crag	14 14/1(-75%)	(16) Anglers Crag 14/1, Big improver for new stable after wind surgery, making it 4-4 when overcoming mistakes to edged ahead close home in the Eider at Newcastle (33f, soft) in February. Unlikely to get away with similar errors here but further progress certainly can't be discounted. 4-4 for this yard, latest win the 4m1f Eider on heavy; up another 8lb but on the shortlist.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (18/1 -50%) Stay Away Fay	18 18/1(-50%)	(1) Stay Away Fay 18/1, Won Albert Bartlett last year and better still over fences this term, winning over at Exeter and Sandown (Grade 2) before Christmas. Disappointed with cheekpieces (quickly discarded) added to regular tongue tie at Cheltenham but he can bounce back faced with a stamina test which should suit. Tops the weights after his Graded events; an outright test of stamina should suit though.
22	22 \|PU\| (22) (18/1 +10%) Whacker Clan	18 18/1(+10%)	(22) Whacker Clan 18/1, Progressive chaser who won a pair of handicaps in the first half of the season and gave his all from the front when third of 22 in Kim Mur at Cheltenham, although the reopposing Git Maker was 18 lengths ahead in second. Likeable type for his leading Irish stable. 18l behind runner-up Git Maker in the 3m2f Kim Muir last time, the furthest he's been.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (28/1 -75%) Beauport	28 28/1(-75%)	(4) Beauport 28/1, Bit of a mixed record over fences but he's smart on his day and put it altogether when overcoming some sticky jumping to land the Midlands National at Uttoxeter (4¼m, heavy) last month. Raised 5 lb for that but he's unexposed over marathon trips. In top form to win Midlands National from Mr Incredible at Uttoxeter (4m2f, heavy); up 5lb.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (28/1 +44%) Elvis Mail	28 28/1(+44%)	(3) Elvis Mail 28/1, Useful handicapper who notched a second chase win of the season when leading close home in a 3m Carlisle veterans' event 13 days ago. Looks vulnerable off 4 lb higher in this much more competitive race. Won at Carlisle 13 days ago; has a career-high mark but the longer trip is interesting.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (33/1 +0%) Tommie Beau	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Tommie Beau 33/1, Better than ever when winning back to back at Sedgefield (Durham National) and Fontwell (Southern National) in the autumn. Another fine effort when 6¾ lengths third of 12 to Anglers Crag in Eider at Newcastle (33f, soft) last time. A credit to connections. Never better than on last two starts (4m1f Eider 3rd latest) but needs a fair bit better.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (40/1 -21%) Broken Halo	40 40/1(-21%)	(13) Broken Halo 40/1, Failed to complete on first 3 outings this season but back on track lately, second in Royal Artillery at Sandown before taking a 3½m handicap at Taunton. This is a lot more competitive, though. Produced late for tidy win at Taunton (3m4f, soft); back up 5lb; could have more to offer.
23	23 \|PU\| (23) (50/1 -52%) Egbert	50 50/1(-52%)	(23) Egbert 50/1, Maiden hurdle winner last term and won a pair of novice handicaps this winter, latterly over 3m at Doncaster. Advanced his form again when runner-up at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in first-time blinkers (retained) last month. Up significantly in trip for a yard with winning form in this race. In good form with headgear; 2lb out of the handicap but the move up in trip is interesting.
25	25 \|PU\| (25) (66/1 -32%) Secret Reprieve	66 66/1(-32%)	(25) Secret Reprieve 66/1, Won the Welsh Grand National in 2020/21 and ran well to be placed in good company twice last season. Probably needed his reappearance run at Sandown in March after 12 months on the sidelines. 5 lb out of handicap. Has not had much racing, or recaptured his form, since Welsh National win in January 2021.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (66/1 +0%) Gold Cup Bailly	66 66/1(+0%)	(7) Gold Cup Bailly 66/1, Useful chaser who won his first 3 starts (including twice here) last season but found life tougher later in the campaign and this is a big ask after a year off. Should have brought potential to this second chase campaign but he's unraced for a year.
24	24 \|PU\| (24) (125/1 -25%) Punitive	125 125/1(-25%)	(24) Punitive 125/1, Lost his way for Gordon Elliott. Took a step back in the right direction when third of 7 over 3½m at Ffos Las but it's still hard to make a good case for him here from 5 lb out of handicap. First-time tongue tie goes on. 3m5f win in 2022; lost form for Gordon Elliott; better on yard debut but needs much more.

15:35 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 1) 32f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Mr Incredible unseated his rider in the Grand National last week and is better judged on his second-placed finish behind Beauport in the Midlands National last month. It would be no surprise to see him get involved on 2lb better terms with that rival. However, the vote goes to ANGLERS CRAG, who remains unbeaten since switching to the Brian Ellison stable and his triumph in the Eider at Newcastle in February was arguably his best performance. The nine-year-old goes off an 8lb higher mark and makes plenty of appeal, while Inis Oirr and Ballygrifincottage are others to consider.

Jamie Snowden can land another big handicap chase courtesy of GIT MAKER. This 8-y-o bumped into a subsequent Grade 1 winner at Cheltenham and the fact he pulled 18 lengths clear of the reopposing Whacker Clan in third suggests he could be well treated here off only 1 lb higher. Willie Mullins is going all out for the British title after last weekend's Grand National success and his unexposed pair Macdermott and Spanish Harlem are very interesting contenders now stepping up markedly in trip.

The trainers' championship contenders have their runners but top of the list are ANGLERS CRAG (nap), Git Maker and Inis Oirr.

16:10 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (16/1 -113%) Chosen Witness	16 16/1(-113%)	(2) Chosen Witness 16/1, Lightly-raced 7-y-o who posted a career best when stylish winner of 16-runner maiden hurdle at Thurles last month. Ran at least as well in defeat sent handicapping when fourth at Cork (19f, heavy) recently and this Irish raider can take another step forward upped further in trip (and hooded). 3m point winner who goes up in trip; has to be respected for all-conquering Willie Mullins.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/1 -157%) Major Fortune	9 9/1(-157%)	(10) Major Fortune 9/1, Proved a different proposition since he was upped in trip this term, completing a 5-timer with something in hand at Lingfield (heavy) just under 7 weeks ago. 11 lb rise to contend with, but he's firmly on the up so remains of plenty interest with the Skeltons going great guns. Landed five-timer with very easy win; up 11lb but remains to be seen where limitations lie.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 +61%) I Love My Baie	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(3) I Love My Baie 7/2, Likeable type who doubled his tally in 4-runner novice hurdle here in December. Proved to be a disappointment when tailed off in Grade 2 event at Doncaster a month later but resumed progress to make a winning handicap debut at Newbury (18.8f) 4 weeks ago. Hiked back up in trip. Flopped on sole 3m run; won either side of that; well worth another crack at staying trip.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 +0%) President Scottie	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) President Scottie 10/1, Has made a promising start over hurdles, making it third time lucky with wide-margin success in 17-runner maiden here (20.4f, heavy) in January. Made a winning handicap debut in an unorthodox event at Haydock (24.3f, soft) last month and remains with potential (type to make a chaser). Course maiden winner who scored over 3m at Haydock on handicap debut; one to consider.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 +0%) Idem	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Idem 12/1, Made a bright start over hurdles, doubling his tally when impressively quickening clear under a hands-and-heels ride at Kelso in September. Just respectable fourth at Ascot next time but shaped well until coming to grief on return at Wetherby (21.2f, heavy) just over 3 weeks ago. This harder. Has shown considerable promise; trainer excels with staying types; could be leading player.
6th	8 6th (8) (8/1 -33%) Milcree	8 8/1(-33%)	(8) Milcree 8/1, Won sole start in point bumpers with ease and has shaped well on first 2 starts over hurdles. Made the most of a good opportunity when easily landing 5-runner novice at Carlisle (19.3f, heavy) just under 2 weeks ago and now heads up in distance for his handicap debut. Makes handicap debut off fair mark & pedigree suggests he'll improve for this longer trip.
7th	1 7th (1) (8/1 +33%) Doughmore Bay	8 8/1(+33%)	(1) Doughmore Bay 8/1, Made a winning start under Rules in 2½m Worcester novice hurdle last May and has been runner-up in 3 of 4 subsequent starts, latest in handicap at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago (went like the best at the weights but left vulnerable to a stayer played later). In the mix again. Runner-up the last twice and this progressive 6yo might not be far away.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/2 -35%) Welcom To Cartries	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(4) Welcom To Cartries 9/2, Easy winner of sole start in Irish points and confirmed hurdling debut promise to get off the mark at Ascot (21.6f) in December. Unable to justify favouritism or, in truth, advance his form much when runner-up in Grade 2 River Don a month later and he's now pitched into a handicap. Runner-up in 3m Grade 2 novice at Doncaster last time and has potential off opening mark.
9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 -40%) Young Jack	14 14/1(-40%)	(9) Young Jack 14/1, Successful on second attempt in maiden points and promising second in a 2¾m novice at Newcastle before scoring over 2½m there in February. Not seen to best effect at that same course (16.9f, soft) 5 weeks ago and looks sure to be suited by this longer distance now handicapping. 3m point and 2m4f Newcastle winner who could relish this step up in trip on handicap debut.
10th	5 10th (5) (11/2 +15%) Masaccio	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(5) Masaccio 11/2, Bumper winner who returned from 6 months off to make a successful start over hurdles in a Chepstow maiden in October. Better form in defeat at Newbury since and completed a simple task back in a regular novice when scoring at Kempton (21f, soft) in February. Plenty to like on handicap debut. Kept on for fifth in 2m4f Grade 1 Challow in December; could be thereabouts now up in trip.

16:10 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking President Scottie holds an obvious chance off a 5lb higher mark than his victory in a class 4 event at Haydock last month, but the one to side with is WELCOM TO CARTRIES. Paul Nicholls' six-year-old was far from disgraced when upped to Grade 2 level at Doncaster in January, finishing runner-up, and, while open to more improvement, he could defy his opening rating of 130. Doughmore Bay filled the runner-up berth in this grade at Haydock last time and is another to note.

Several powerful yards represented but it's YOUNG JACK who is selected to come out on top having not been seen to best effect when third (a place behind Milcree) in a falsely-run novice at Newcastle 5 weeks ago. This step up in trip should be right up his street sent handicapping and he can get the better of Welcom To Cartries, who is yet to finish oustide the first two places. The prolific Major Fortune and Irish-raider Chosen Witness can fight out third.

The very lightly raced 6yo MILCREE has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and is the selection now up in trip for his handicap debut.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (8/11 +20%) Quai De Bourbon	0.727273 8/11(+20%)	(2) Quai De Bourbon 8/11, Left his French form behind when winning big-field maiden at Naas on his Irish debut after 13 months off. Made to work hard when following up at Clonmel (16.5f) prior to running a cracker in the Martin Pipe on handicap debut. Sets the standard and should continue to progress. Strong form claims on the strength of his close third in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 +30%) Choccabloc	14 14/1(+30%)	(1) Choccabloc 14/1, Bumper winner who confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut when edging out a subsequent winner at Ludlow (21.2f) in November. Not disgraced upped in grade at Cheltenham 11 weeks later but faces another stiff task. Penalty found him out in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham and it could be a similar tale here.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 +40%) Bertie's Ballet	12 12/1(+40%)	(3) Bertie's Ballet 12/1, Useful dual bumper winner (second victory here) who is improving over hurdles, scoring in the mud at Haydock (2m) in December and running well in Grade 2 at Kelso (18.2f) 7 weeks ago. Bred to be suited by this longer trip and may do better still. Smart 6yo but limitations exposed the last twice and others have stronger form.
4	8 4th (8) (7/1 -40%) Twoohthree	7 7/1(-40%)	(8) Twoohthree 7/1, Promising points scorer who also won 7-runner novice hurdle (7/1) at Leopardstown (20f) in good style on Rules debut last month, cruising clear. Failed to build on that promise at Navan last time but shaped better than the distance beaten suggests and remains open to improvement. Impressed in his maiden and made a costly late blunder last time; open to improvement.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 -45%) Billericay Dickie	4 4/1(-45%)	(4) Billericay Dickie 4/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who looked a good prospect when landing a 2½m Punchestown maiden on hurdles debut for new yard in January, quickening to lead approaching last and going clear. Open to significant improvement. 1m4f winner in France; did it easily when odds-on for a Punchestown maiden.
6th	6 6th (6) (20/1 -67%) Jetronic	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Jetronic 20/1, Chase winner in France who opened his hurdling account on third start for Paul Nicholls in a slowly-run Plumpton novice (20.5f, soft) last month. This demands a lot more, however. Made all on his return to hurdling at Plumpton; lightly raced and in top hands.

16:45 Ayr Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

BILLERICAY DICKIE got off the mark in the style of a very smart prospect when winning by a wide margin on his hurdles bow over 2m4f at Punchestown in January and, with a freshness edge over some of his rivals, he gets the vote to take Willie Mullins a step closer to securing the trainers championship. Quai De Bourbon arrives on the back of an excellent third in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last month and he can give the selection the most to think about. Jetronic scored on his hurdles debut for this stable at Plumpton last month, though he benefitted from an easy time of things out in front that day and isn't guaranteed the same here.

QUAI DE BOURBON looked a smart performer in the making when posting an excellent third in an exceptionally strong renewal of the Martin Pipe at last month's Cheltenham Festival, so he's very much the one to beat, especially with further progress on the cards. Unexposed pair Twoohthree and Billericay Dickie are feared most.

Willie Mullins sets a poser by running two but QUAI DE BOURBON has the best form credentials after his third in a Cheltenham handicap.

Dam, maiden on Flat in France, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (17f-3m winner) Safran de Cotte. Runner-up sole start in points (Nov 2023) and looks one to note on Rules debut. 26,000euros yearling; second in point; represents top connections and must be considered.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 -20%) Thistle Be The One	12 12/1(-20%)	(2) Thistle Be The One 12/1, Failed to beat a rival both starts in points but proved a different proposiition when landing a 9-runner bumper at Kempton 56 days ago. Could be more to come, so dangerous to rule out. Last in two points before springing 40-1 surprise in Kempton bumper; has to be respected.

Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Dec 2023). Very much one to consider starting out for top yard. Bought for £145,000 after finishing second in a point; very interesting rules debutant.
4	3 4th (3) (11/10 +33%) C'est Ta Chance	1.1 11/10(+33%)	(3) C'est Ta Chance 11/10, Won sole start in points and didn't lose much in defeat when second at Navan first time under Rules, sticking to the task well. Was up against it in the Champion Bumper last time but boasts excellent claims of opening his accoun in this lesser company. Bumped into smart prospect at Navan; midfield in Champion Bumper next time; this is weaker.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/1 -27%) Histrionic	7 7/1(-27%)	(5) Histrionic 7/1, Expensive purchase on the back of success between the flags but hasn't come up to expectations under Rules as yet.

6th	11 6th (11) (100/1 -100%) Authorized Mission	100 100/1(-100%)	(11) Authorized Mission 100/1, Tongue tied when down the field at Newcastle on debut and fared little better at Kelso next time.

Dam, pulled up in points, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m-21f winner) Lady Zephyr.

17:20 Ayr NH Flat Race (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

C'est Ta Chance has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature and commands respect, though his lacklustre display in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham tempers enthusiasm somewhat. Preference is for CALIFET EN VOL. Nicky Henderson's charge finished second on his only point-to-point start before being snatched up for 145,000 pounds, and it would be no surprise if he were up to the task at the first time of asking under Rules. Reflection Of You scored on her Rules debut at Musselburgh and is respected too.

C'EST TA CHANCE has the best form and his latest effort in the Champion Bumper is best to draw a line through, so he takes preference over point-winner Califet En Vol, with the unbeaten Reflection of You another obvious player.

The percentage call is C'EST TA CHANCE, who bumped into a smart prospect at Navan and ran in the Champion Bumper next time.

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.
