14:30 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 -54%) One Last Hug	10 10/1(-54%)	(8) One Last Hug 10/1, Dual course winner in May, the latter over this trip. Went close to another win over C&D on latest start 5 weeks ago but was well held under this rider at Redcar prior to that. Two wins here this season and he's a strong contender at his favourite track.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 +55%) Woobay	9 9/1(+55%)	(4) Woobay 9/1, Fair maiden. Limited impact in his 2 handicap starts but it is still very early days. Down in trip. Well beaten on handicap debut (6f) but showed pace and this first crack at 5f could suit.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 -129%) Soul Seeker	8 8/1(-129%)	(3) Soul Seeker 8/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022 but placed on last 4 outings and ought to be very competitive again here. Ran pretty well in defeat on his four starts last month; every chance he'll be thereabouts.
4	7 4th (7) (1/1 +86%) John Kirkup	1 1/1(+86%)	(7) John Kirkup 1/1, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Engaged 6.52 Carlisle Saturday. 8yo who is on a losing run but is in fair form; declared 6.52 Carlisle Saturday.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.5/1 -56%) Showalong	3.5 3.5/1(-56%)	(1) Showalong 3.5/1, Built on reappearance second when scoring at Nottingham (5f) in May. Shaped better than result when sixth of 8 over C&D since. Potential class act in a 0-70. All four wins have come on slow ground; major plus if such conditions prevail today.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 +18%) Modular Magic	9 9/1(+18%)	(2) Modular Magic 9/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Last of 7 in handicap (22/1) at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Went very close on AW in January but down the field on his three runs since.

LTO Selection:

14:30 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied over C&D last time out, ONE LAST HUG can gain compensation and notch up a third Ayr victory already this season. Jim Goldie's eight-year-old remains on a fair mark and can see off the well-handicapped Ben Macdui and Soul Seeker, who has been knocking on the door of late. Showalong may have disappointed over track and trip on his latest run, but he is a player based on the pick of his form.

SHOWALONG was better than the result here last time and has a bit of class for this level having largely plied his trade in higher grades. Soul Seeker is another very capable in 0-70 company and is second choice ahead of Ben Macdui.

Ayr specialist One Last Hug is a tempting option but preference is for BEN MACDUI who was a promising fourth at Newcastle recently.

15:05 Ayr Maiden (Class 5) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (4.5/1 +18%) Vantheman	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(7) Vantheman 4.5/1, Once-raced colt. Third of 7 in minor event (25/1) at Haydock (6f, firm) on debut 25 days ago. Open to improvement, from a good sprinting family and worth a chance to open his account at the second attempt. Third on last month's debut at Haydock and has a useful sprinting pedigree.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 -47%) Appellant	11 11/1(-47%)	(1) Appellant 11/1, Foaled April 25. 70,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Dam, 6f winner, sister to very smart 7f-8.3f winner Penitent and useful 2-y-o 5f-6f winner Supplicant. Interesting newcomer. 70,000gns yearling; dam from classy family and he's not ruled out on debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 +25%) Master Franca	3 3/1(+25%)	(4) Master Franca 3/1, Twice-raced colt. 5/1, third of 7 in minor event at Chester (6.1f, good) 22 days ago. Worthy of respect. Has made the frame on both starts and could be thereabouts for in-form yard.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 +56%) Strong Request	7 7/1(+56%)	(6) Strong Request 7/1, Once-raced colt. 7/2, last of 6 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on debut 49 days ago. Should have learnt from that. Tailed off on debut but this 130,000gns yearling is in good hands and is not written off.
5th	2 5th (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Dingwall	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(2) Dingwall 4.5/1, 11/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 46 days ago. Likely to improve at some point. Well-beaten 4th of six on debut but that has turned out to be a hot race; a possible.
6th	5 6th (5) (2.25/1 -50%) Sennockian	2.25 2.25/1(-50%)	(5) Sennockian 2.25/1, Thrice-raced colt. 3/1, second of 5 in maiden at Goodwood (5f, good) 16 days ago. Form pick and should go well. Went very close over 5f at Goodwood last time and leading claims if seeing out the trip.

LTO Selection:

15:05 Ayr Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Either side of being beaten a neck into second here and at Goodwood, Sennockian was an honest third in a warm contest at the latter venue. He should be bang there again but a chance is taken on DINGWALL, who was only fourth on his debut here but the winner almost landed the Coventry, with the runner-up going one better next time. Vantheman surpassed market expectations on his Haydock introduction, while Master Franca should be on the premises too.

VANTHEMAN shaped with encouragement at Haydock first time out and he can find enough improvement to get the better of Sennockian, who sets the standard. Master Franca is another to consider.

A chance is taken on DINGWALL, an 85,000gns yearling whose debut fourth of six over C&D came in a race that has worked out very well.

15:40 Ayr Stakes (Class 6) 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (7/1 -27%) Banner Road	7 7/1(-27%)	(1) Banner Road 7/1, Ran up to best when fourth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good, 14/1) 16 days ago. Task is now to build on that. Two good runs in Musselburgh handicaps this year and key player if at the top of her game.
2	8 2nd (8) (2.5/1 +9%) Our Dickie	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(8) Our Dickie 2.5/1, Gained first success for current yard at Hamilton in May. 13/2, not in the same form as previous outing when eighth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 10 days ago, though helped set sound gallop. Major player on these terms. Good performances on two of his last four starts and he's capable of having a big say.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -11%) Far From A Ruby	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Far From A Ruby 5/1, C&D winner. Below form last 2 starts, seventh of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good, 6/1) 16 days ago. However, no surprise to see her fare better returned to this venue. Well beaten at Musselburgh the last twice but the return to Ayr offers hope.
4	9 4th (9) (3/1 +25%) Reverberation	3 3/1(+25%)	(9) Reverberation 3/1, Forty-six runs since last win in 2020. 6/1, one of lesser races when fourteenth of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 17 days ago. However, could bounce back with cheekpieces now reapplied. Down the field last time but good 2nd previously, which would give him leading chance here.
5th	6 5th (6) (4.5/1 +36%) Mac Ailey	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(6) Mac Ailey 4.5/1, Bounced back from his previous effort when fourth of 9 in minor event at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 10/1) 18 days ago. Capable of getting involved with blinkers reapplied. Infrequent winner but fair fourth at Hamilton last time and he has a chance.
6th	5 6th (5) (33/1 -18%) Hollis Brown	33 33/1(-18%)	(5) Hollis Brown 33/1, Has shown little in 2 starts so far this season, seventh of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good, 50/1) 55 days ago. Placed twice at this course (7.2f) last year but has a bit to prove at present. Well beaten at Musselburgh on both runs this year but some fair efforts here last season.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 -17%) Darker	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Darker 14/1, In first-time cheekpieces, not in the same form as 3 days earlier when sixth of 11 in minor event at this course (7.2f, firm, 7/1) 15 days ago. Needs to find more as he goes back up in trip. Lightly raced 4yo who has shown ability this year, but soundly beaten on last three runs.
8th	12 8th (12) (18/1 -80%) Navy Wren	18 18/1(-80%)	(12) Navy Wren 18/1, Produced her best effort when fourth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 33/1) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time as she drops back down in trip. 3yo; fair fourth at Beverley last time and may build on that in first-time headgear.
9th	3 9th (3) (33/1 -32%) Elettaria	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) Elettaria 33/1, Fared better than of late when fourth of 5 in handicap at this course (7.2f, good to firm, 40/1) 34 days ago. Others still preferred, though. Best run for a while here last month but now 0-10 and others make greater appeal.
10th	10 10th (10) (200/1 -400%) Royal Princess	200 200/1(-400%)	(10) Royal Princess 200/1, Has finished down the field in varied events, last of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f, good to firm, 150/1) on return 47 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Has shown very little worthwhile form across her six starts..
11th	7 11th (7) (150/1 -582%) Nazca	150 150/1(-582%)	(7) Nazca 150/1, Off 3 months, possibly needed the run when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (1m, 50/1) 10 days ago. Improvement required as he drops in grade. Ten-race maiden who has never finished better than fifth and was well beaten recently.
12th	11 12th (11) (250/1 -525%) Mane Man Boris	250 250/1(-525%)	(11) Mane Man Boris 250/1, Has struggled in 3 starts this year, last of 5 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f, 150/1) 68 days ago. Best watched. This is much weaker than his first three races but he's been tailed off each time.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Ayr Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Jim Goldie has his string in good order and a bold bid from Banner Road is expected following a fine effort in defeat at Musselburgh, while Far From A Ruby has winning C&D form in the book from last year and is the joint-highest rated in the field along with OUR DICKIE. Iain Jardine's gelding boasts arguably the best form this year, with a victory and a close second at Hamilton to his name, and he receives a tentative vote in a tricky contest for punters to solve. Irish raider Reverberation and Navy Wren are also worth a second look.

OUR DICKIE ran well in this grade when second at Hamilton on his penultimate outing, so he could be worth forgiving his latest run at Newcastle where he helped to set a sound gallop. The 4-y-o is taken to gain a second success for this current yard, though Far From A Ruby could bounce back to form returned to this course. Reverberation completes the shortlist.

C&D winner FAR FROM A RUBY has a good record at Ayr and earns the vote now back here after two lacklustre performances at Musselburgh.

16:15 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 10f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (3.5/1 +36%) Dubai Souq	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(1) Dubai Souq 3.5/1, Won at Redcar in November 2021. Not at his very best in 3 outings in the first half of 2022 but was a creditable second at Windsor after 11 months in May. Entitled to come on for that. Returned from absence with good second at Windsor in May and he's one to consider.
1	5 1st (5) (6.5/1 -189%) Chriszoff	6.5 6.5/1(-189%)	(5) Chriszoff 6.5/1, Winner of 2 of his 3 starts. Made to work quite hard to defy a penalty on turf debut at Lingfield but retains potential up in trip on handicap bow. Two wins from three starts and open to further improvement for last year's winning yard.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 +43%) Tilsitt	8 8/1(+43%)	(2) Tilsitt 8/1, Last 3 wins have come at this track, including twice last season. Decent third here last month but looked awkward at Carlisle 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Down the field at Carlisle but last three wins have come at Ayr; respected now back here.
3	3 3rd (3) (4.5/1 +36%) Feel The Need	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(3) Feel The Need 4.5/1, Fairly useful 7f juvenile winner who resumed after 7 months off/gelded with an excellent second of six in 7.5f Beverley handicap. Efforts since have been a bit underwhelming, however (high head carriage). Travelled well at Haydock but was third of five and needs to better that performance here.
4	6 4th (6) (4.5/1 +18%) Old Smoke	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(6) Old Smoke 4.5/1, Winner at Thirsk in April. 18/1, good sixth of 14 in London Gold Cup at Newbury (1¼m, good to firm). Might have found next run coming too soon so worth another chance with headgear applied. Disappointing at Musselburgh but form of London Gold Cup sixth has worked out very well.
5th	4 5th (4) (8.5/1 +6%) Sophiesticate	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(4) Sophiesticate 8.5/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) and backed that up with decent third at Carlisle. Respected. In fine form the last twice and this C&D winner can go well once more.
6th	7 6th (7) (4.5/1 -29%) Venetian	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(7) Venetian 4.5/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs and left reappearance run behind with placed efforts next 2 starts, headed only near the line when runner-up at Haydock (8.2f). Not in same form at Pontefract since but type to bounce back. Placed twice in a row before a wide draw made life tricky at Pontefract a fortnight ago.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

OLD SMOKE was not at his very best at Musselburgh last time but he was only beaten two lengths in a very good renewal of the London Gold Cup prior to that. The application of first-time cheekpieces could help Richard Fahey's three-year-old bounce back to that level of form here and he will be tough to beat if doing so. Unexposed hat-trick seeker Chriszoff is an obvious threat to the selection, while Dubai Souq is the pick of the remainder.

Unexposed 3-y-o CHRISZOFF can complete the hat-trick on his handicap bow. Dubai Souq made a satisfactory comeback at Windsor after 11 months off and is entitled to be sharper here, while Venetian and Old Smoke are also players if shrugging off their latest efforts.

3yos have won the last five runnings and OLD SMOKE, whose sixth in the London Gold Cup reads extremely well, is taken to score.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2.5/1 -11%) Sparks Fly	2.5 2.5/1(-11%)	(2) Sparks Fly 2.5/1, Much improved switched to turf and she completed a 5-timer in decisive fashion at Chester (10.3f, good) 9 days ago. Hiked up a further 6 lb but she's still not taken lightly. Completed a five-timer at Chester recently and could still be ahead of the handicapper.
2	8 2nd (8) (8/1 +43%) Alpine Sierra	8 8/1(+43%)	(8) Alpine Sierra 8/1, C&D winner in June. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft, 7/1) 11 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Work to do in this grade. Won C&D Class 6 two starts ago but may find this Class 3 contest to be too hot.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +43%) Shahbaz	4 4/1(+43%)	(6) Shahbaz 4/1, Newmarket 9f nursery winner who ran well after 6 months off when third there in April. No extra only late on when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (10f, soft, 3/1) just over 8 weeks ago and can give his running again back down in trip. Hasn't run badly on his two starts this year but needs something extra to win this.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 -20%) Power Of Gold	6 6/1(-20%)	(7) Power Of Gold 6/1, Opened his account in likeable fashion when winning 7-runner handicap (13/2) at Doncaster (8f, firm) 3 weeks ago, staying on powerfully to lead last ½f. Nudged up 4 lb and could well be in the mix again now up and running. Won at Doncaster three weeks ago and this 3yo could have more to offer; on the shortlist.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 -23%) Gincident	8 8/1(-23%)	(4) Gincident 8/1, 3 wins from 6 runs this year, latest at Musselburgh in April. 12/1, not up to the task when eighth of 11 in hot 3-y-o handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) just over 6 weeks ago. Bounce back required. Four wins this year and when below par at Haydock it was his first run on quick ground.
6th	1 6th (1) (8/1 +0%) Redarna	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Redarna 8/1, 7-time course winner. 66/1, well held after 9 months off in Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Back in much calmer waters but likely to prove vulnerable to younger legs. Had a tough reappearance assignment at Royal Ascot and he's won here seven times.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/1 -50%) Young Fire	9 9/1(-50%)	(3) Young Fire 9/1, 7/1, turned in best effort of the season when winning 10-runner handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Consistency is not his forte, but he remains with handicapping scope judged on last year's form. Won at Haydock a fortnight ago, although he has a good record at that course.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/1 -20%) Royal Pippen	9 9/1(-20%)	(5) Royal Pippen 9/1, 14/1, turned in first notable effort in nearly 2 years after another 8 months off when second of 9 in handicap at Limerick (7f, good) 15 days ago, running on. Interesting if he can back that up. Went close at Limerick on reappearance and this Irish raider could be in the mix.

LTO Selection:

16:50 Ayr Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SPARKS FLY is one of the most progressive handicappers in training at present, starting her turf career off a mark of 59 at Windsor in April and she now competes off 93 after five wins on the bounce. She didn't look to be nearing the ceiling of her ability at Chester last time and must be stuck with. Young Fire and Gincident have both won three times already in 2023, while Power Of Gold got off the mark at Doncaster. Shahbaz is just one other to consider.

SPARKS FLY has proved a revelation since being switched to the turf and, having readily seen off a well-backed handicap debutante from a top yard at Chester 9 days ago, David Loughnane's 3-y-o gets the nod to bring up a remarkable 6-timer. Young Fire got back to winning ways at Haydock recently and may emerge as the main threat remaining with handicapping scope judged on last year's form. Irish-raider Royal Pippen and Power of Gold can fight out third spot.

The prolific filly SPARKS FLY (nap) is taken to make it six wins in a row, having again had something to spare when scoring at Chester.

1	10 1st (10) (3.33/1 +49%) Braes Of Doune	3.33 3.33/1(+49%)	(10) Braes Of Doune 3.33/1, Another creditable effort when third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 9 days ago. Solid frame claims again. In good form in these cheekpieces last month and there's every chance he'll be in the mix.
2	8 2nd (8) (3.5/1 +0%) Rory The Cat	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(8) Rory The Cat 3.5/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 12 days ago, driven out. Still low mileage for this yard and he isn't taken lightly. Won at Beverley recently on second stable start and this 3yo could have more to offer.
3	9 3rd (9) (14/1 +30%) Jaminoz	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) Jaminoz 14/1, Course winner. 13/2, seventh of 9 in minor event at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 18 days ago, slowly away. Difficult to fancy on recent efforts. Unable to threaten this season but runs here for first time since winning last October.
4	2 4th (2) (7.5/1 -114%) Streetscape	7.5 7.5/1(-114%)	(2) Streetscape 7.5/1, Good placed efforts on his first 3 starts this season but ran below form when fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and wouldn't be ruled out if able to bounce back. Runs over this trip for the first time since good third at Redcar in May; not ruled out.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -13%) Royal Countess	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Royal Countess 18/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in May and ran creditably on next 2 starts, but was never involved when eighth of 9 in minor event at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 15/2) 18 days ago. Others preferred. Hasn't shone on last three starts but good record in this race and she's not discounted.
6th	3 6th (3) (2.5/1 +38%) Spirit Of Ash	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(3) Spirit Of Ash 2.5/1, Winner at Newcastle in June. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 4 days ago. Clearly not straightforward but could give another good account. Won at Newcastle before close third at Musselburgh and she's one to consider.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 -14%) Gerrots	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Gerrots 16/1, Ran better than for a while when fifth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) 24 days ago but essentially remains opposable for win purposes. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Nottingham fifth was a step back in right direction but he needs another here; now 0-16.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -100%) Zandora	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Zandora 100/1, No better than mid-division in varied events, faring no better on stable debut last time. Seven starts, and yet to finish better than sixth.
9th	13 9th (13) (18/1 -125%) Stelios	18 18/1(-125%)	(13) Stelios 18/1, Good third of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 9/1) 12 days ago, faring best of those held up. Hood on 1st time. Respected. 0-10 but close third over 1m2f at Beverley 12 days ago and he could be bang there.
10th	1 10th (1) (50/1 -100%) Copia Verborum	50 50/1(-100%)	(1) Copia Verborum 50/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2018. 16/1, seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 21 days ago. Unraced on Flat since 2021 and has plenty to prove. Irish raider; market check advised back on the Flat but hasn't really shone over hurdles.
11th	11 11th (11) (18/1 +64%) Two Rivers	18 18/1(+64%)	(11) Two Rivers 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D (firm) 26 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. More needed. Down the field in both handicaps and lots of improvement needed now in a tongue-tie.
12th	14 12th (14) (33/1 -65%) Killing Eve	33 33/1(-65%)	(14) Killing Eve 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, looked ungainly when eighth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Hard to fancy. Hasn't shown enough among her five runs to suggest she'll win this.
13th	12 13th (12) (25/1 -127%) Zakram	25 25/1(-127%)	(12) Zakram 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 14¾ lengths seventh of 10 to Rory The Cat in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 17/2) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not discounted on pick of form but has a couple of poor efforts to shrug off. Market check advised in first-time cheekpieces but he's struggled in the main this season.
14th	7 14th (7) (66/1 -32%) Depart A Minuit	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Depart A Minuit 66/1, Down the field all 4 starts since joining this yard from David O'Meara. Significantly up in trip. Others more persuasive. Has struggled to get competitive on his four starts this season.

SPIRIT OF ASH shaped as if she had another race in her when meeting trouble in running at Musselburgh on Wednesday and is fancied to put that third-placed effort behind her in this contest to return to winning ways. Rory The Cat proved a different proposition in reapplied headgear when getting up to triumph at Beverley last month and is expected to be involved once more off 4lb higher, while the in-form Stelios and course winner Jaminoz also enter the reckoning.

RORY THE CAT made his second start for Lucinda Russell a winning one at Beverley and he can follow up from a 4 lb higher mark. Streetscape was underwhelming last time but has held his own in stronger contests and is most feared, with Stelios, Braes of Doune and Spirit of Ash others worth considering.

Lucinda Russell won this last year and the stable's RORY THE CAT gets the nod, having won at Beverley recently.
