14:25 Ayr Stakes (Class 4) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +23%) Francophone	5 5/1(+23%)	(6) Francophone 5/1, Foaled April 9. Study of Man filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Star of Mayo. Represents a top yard and interest levels will be heightened if the market speaks in her favour. Half-sister to a fair 1m AW winner; with a top stable; no surprise if she features.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +43%) Misemerald	2 2/1(+43%)	(1) Misemerald 2/1, Thrice-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 4/1, won 5-runner minor event at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago. Back up in trip and she has to enter calculations, despite conceding weight all round. Won her last two races (7.4f/7f) and sets a fairly useful form standard.
3	7 3rd (7) (1.62/1 -17%) Roman Secret	1.62 1.62/1(-17%)	(7) Roman Secret 1.62/1, Promising individual. 4/1, second of 7 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, soft) on debut 16 days ago, not knocked about. Moving up in trip looks a good move and she's a major player. Kept on well for second over 6f on debut and ought to be more streetwise here.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +50%) Capellina	8 8/1(+50%)	(3) Capellina 8/1, Foaled March 18. 40,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 5f winner Agent Shiftwell and 1m winner Shifter. Interesting to see what the market has to say. Bred to be very speedy; starts off over 7f but still looks interesting on paper.
5th	2 5th (2) (22/1 -267%) After Time	22 22/1(-267%)	(2) After Time 22/1, Foaled February 10. €42,000 yearling, Le Brivido filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to useful winner up to 8.6f Fox Power out of useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Zenella. Likely type on paper and market should point the way. 42,000euros yearling; first foal; dam placed 6f/7f 2yo (RPR 72); market may guide.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 -9%) Evanwood	12 12/1(-9%)	(4) Evanwood 12/1, Foaled April 19. £40,000 yearling, Zoffany filly. Half-sister to 11f winner Al Ghanim. Yard can ready a newcomer and confidence behind her in the betting should be heeded. £40,000 yearling; second foal from unraced half-sister to 1m AW Listed winner Viva Vettori.
7th	5 7th (5) (22/1 +45%) Flow So Gently	22 22/1(+45%)	(5) Flow So Gently 22/1, Foaled March 28. Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to 1¼m-12.5f winner Sophiesticate. Yard's strike rate with newcomers suggests that this one is probably best watched first time out. Half-sister to a middle-distance winner; stable not prolific with newcomers.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Ayr Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Misemerald has won two of her three starts to date, with the latest of her victories coming over 6f at this track, and she should have no issues with the step back up in distance. However, she does have a 6lb penalty to shoulder, which may open the door for ROMAN SECRET. The daughter of Holy Roman Emperor shaped with plenty of encouragement on her debut at Doncaster when second behind a subsequent winner, and she could take a step forward to strike. Any market support for newcomer Capellina should be noted.

While there are several appealing newcomers on show, ROMAN SECRET shaped like a ready-made future winner when chasing home an experienced rival in Snafiya (winner again since) on debut at Doncaster last month. She will benefit from this step up in trip and should prove hard to beat. Francophone, After Time, Evanwood and Capellina (in order of preference) all need close attention in the betting, while the hat-trick seeking Misemerald should give another good account, despite carrying a penalty.

After recovering well from a sluggish start to take second on her debut, ROMAN SECRET can make the necessary improvement here.

15:00 Ayr Stakes (Class 6) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3.33/1 +26%) Retirement Beckons	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(4) Retirement Beckons 3.33/1, Modest gelding. 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D (heavy) 7 days ago. Shouldn't be far away. Has mixed record this season but won over C&D in June; contender if in right mood.
2	6 2nd (6) (3.33/1 -90%) Turbo Command	3.33 3.33/1(-90%)	(6) Turbo Command 3.33/1, Fair gelding. Latest win at Southwell in April. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at this course (7.2f, good) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Should go well. Sound effort when fourth in recent 7f handicap here; big player in this grade.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.2/1 +56%) Our Dickie	1.2 1.2/1(+56%)	(3) Our Dickie 1.2/1, Modest gelding. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D (good) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and couldn't rule out in a race of this nature. Not at best last time and has his quirks but still features prominently in calculations.
4	7 4th (7) (50/1 -52%) Zandora	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Zandora 50/1, Poor filly. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 66/1) 9 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Readily passed over. Unplaced all nine starts, the last three times for new stable this summer; hood added.
5th	1 5th (1) (18/1 -80%) Butterfly Island	18 18/1(-80%)	(1) Butterfly Island 18/1, Maiden. 100/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f, good) 14 days ago. Can only be watched at present. Will appreciate this ease in grade but this year's British form is very uninspiring.
6th	2 6th (2) (8.5/1 -31%) Fanzone	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(2) Fanzone 8.5/1, Modest gelding. One win from 25 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at this course (7.2f, good) 14 days ago. Would have a serious chance were he to put his best foot forward. Placed in two 1m handicaps in spring but has been out of sorts lately.
7th	8 7th (8) (22/1 -10%) Navy Wren	22 22/1(-10%)	(8) Navy Wren 22/1, Poor filly. 50/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 21 days ago. Looks set for another struggle. Made the frame in Beverley handicap in June but two lesser efforts have followed.
8th	5 8th (5) (150/1 -50%) Royal Princess	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Royal Princess 150/1, 200/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at this C&D (good) 29 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Well-beaten 200-1 shot in similar C&D race to this last month.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Ayr Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Turbo Command must enter calculations on his recent second over 7f here, but Alison Hamilton's keen-going gelding may be worth taking on now upped to 1m. OUR DICKIE was somewhat underwhelming when weakening into seventh over C&D in handicap company last month, but the four-year-old has gone close to winning at classified stakes level on his last two attempts and rates as the most solid proposition. Retirement Beckons and Butterfly Island are viable alternatives on the ratings.

TURBO COMMAND is 0-11 on turf but performed well enough over 7.2f here a fortnight ago to suggest that a race of this nature will be within his grasp, particularly now that he moves back up to a mile off a 2 lb lower mark. An on-song Fanzone would have every chance and Our Dickie is also likely to take a hand in the finish.

This could be a good opportunity for TURBO COMMAND, who was fourth in a competitive 7f handicap for the level here a fortnight ago.

15:00 Ayr Stakes (Class 6) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:35 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1/1 +20%) Jkr Cobbler	1 1/1(+20%)	(3) Jkr Cobbler 1/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 11/4) 14 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Going through a good spell and boasts leading claims again. Chasing a C&D hat-trick after two wins last month; 4lb rise fair; leading contender.
3	2 3rd (2) (5.5/1 -38%) Vortigan	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(2) Vortigan 5.5/1, Blinkered for 1st time, excellent third of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 17/2) 32 days ago, having run of race. Merits plenty of respect. Back to form in blinkers last time; dangerous with a repeat; best form has come on good.
4	5 4th (5) (50/1 -79%) Crown Bridges	50 50/1(-79%)	(5) Crown Bridges 50/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft, 40/1) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Heavy defeats the last twice and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt.
5th	1 5th (1) (25/1 -127%) Drakeholes	25 25/1(-127%)	(1) Drakeholes 25/1, 6/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to firm) 83 days ago, hampered. Chance if he can match the sort of form he's shown on AW. Handicapper has given him a chance and conditions should suit; revival on the cards.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/1 +42%) Mr Trevor	7 7/1(+42%)	(4) Mr Trevor 7/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 16/1) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Hard to make a solid case for. Out of form this year but tumbling down the weights; cheekpieces now added.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

JKR COBBLER arrives in search of a hat-trick over C&D following a brace of victories in the space of a week last month and the four-year-old, who was arguably more impressive on his most recent effort, is expected to prove too strong for the opposition, despite a 4lb rise for that latest win. Bernie The Bear is yet to gain his first victory but he has been knocking on the door this season and is entitled to be in the mix, while Vortigan's recent third at Haydock earns him a place on the shortlist.

JKR COBBLER is in the form of his life and he's well worth a chance to get the hat-trick up for all that Vortigan improved last time and is a bit less exposed. Bernie The Bear usually runs his race, so he's also worthy of consideration.

JKR Cobbler is respected in his hat-trick bid but both Vortigan and DRAKEHOLES are viable alternatives.

16:10 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 10f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (3/1 +60%) Glasses Up	3 3/1(+60%)	(7) Glasses Up 3/1, Several decent efforts in defeat this year, including 6 lengths third of 9 over 13f here a fortnight ago. Should figure again but it's hard to ignore the fact that he's on a losing run stretching back to July 2021. Just a respectable third here a fortnight ago; younger rivals have more appealing profiles.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 +20%) Jumeirah King	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) Jumeirah King 8/1, Fairly useful form when placed 3 times at up to 1¼m in France. Faded to finish sixth of 11 in 1¼m Pontefract maiden on yard debut 4 weeks ago, possibly needing the outing after a 12-week break. Handicap debut. Made low-key British debut in a maiden last month but open to improvement in handicaps.
3	2 3rd (2) (0.62/1 +75%) Flyawaydream	0.62 0.62/1(+75%)	(2) Flyawaydream 0.62/1, Consistent performer who ran up to best when third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m) on return 32 days ago. Taken to come good now stepping up to 1¼m for the first time. Placed in three 1m AW handicaps since 7f turf maiden win; up in trip today; shortlisted.
4	5 4th (5) (33/1 -65%) Ludo's Landing	33 33/1(-65%)	(5) Ludo's Landing 33/1, Got his head back in front at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) in June but he's been a little disappointing in his 3 outings since and remains 3 lb above that winning mark. Tries a longer trip now. Quickened to win in first-time blinkers in June but disappointing since; others preferred.
5th	4 5th (4) (12/1 -20%) Demilion	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Demilion 12/1, Second in the mud at Chester in May but hasn't beaten a rival in his 3 outings since, not helping his cause by racing freely. Hard to know what to expect. Headstrong colt; in good form in the spring but came last on last three appearances.

LTO Selection:

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

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

The consistent FLYAWAYDREAM was only beaten two lengths into third off this mark on his seasonal debut at Kempton a month ago and a reproduction of that level of form would make him hard to beat here. Theme Park was not at his very best at Ascot last time but is a player based on his third at Chester two starts ago, while Glasses Up is the pick of the remainder.

FLYAWAYDREAM has a very consistent record and is taken to build on his AW reappearance third and land a second career success on this first attempt over 1¼m. Auld Toon Loon will be a threat if showing up here rather than Haydock. Theme Park looks best of the rest.

Preference is for THEME PARK, who ought to find this easier than the Class 3 handicaps he has contested in recent months.

16:45 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (11/1 -22%) Emeralds Pride	11 11/1(-22%)	(3) Emeralds Pride 11/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good) 30 days ago but claims if back to the form she showed when twice runner-up earlier in the season. Cheekpieces back on for first time this year. Second twice in spring but form has dipped lately; headgear refitted in bid to perk her up.
2	7 2nd (7) (7.5/1 -15%) Autumnal Breeze	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(7) Autumnal Breeze 7.5/1, 5f winner in Ireland for Denis Hogan. Only seventh of 8 on her Chepstow yard debut (6f, good to soft) 28 days ago but this stable usually does well with new recruits and the return to 5f may help. 5f winner in Ireland in May; back in trip after racing too freely over 6f on stable debut.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/1 +7%) Wrecked It Ralph	7 7/1(+7%)	(6) Wrecked It Ralph 7/1, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 10 over 6f here last month but down the field back here a week later. C&D winner last year and ran okay over 6f two starts ago but others look better treated.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 -33%) Lady Celia	3 3/1(-33%)	(2) Lady Celia 3/1, Just second outing for this yard when winning at Nottingham (5f, soft, 11/4) 17 days ago. A 3 lb rise looks fair and expected to be bang there. Built upon pleasing seasonal/stable debut when winning comfortably last month; big player.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 +0%) Global Humor	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Global Humor 4/1, Tricky customer but he recorded back-to-back wins over 6f/7f here at the start of the summer. Respectable fifth of 12 over 6f here last time and he's dipped back to only 1 lb above his last winning mark. Dual course winner this season (6f/7f); 5f also suits, but he's on a fairly tough mark now.
6th	4 6th (4) (5/1 -11%) The Caltonian	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) The Caltonian 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Runner-up on 6f course handicap debut in June. Not in quite the same form when sixth of 13 back here (6f again) since but he was prominent for a long way and the drop to 5f looks worth a go. Much less exposed than most of these. Close second here when dropped to 6f for handicap debut; claims if 5f suits.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 +0%) Burtonlodge Beauty	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Burtonlodge Beauty 33/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. Well-held third of 6 in C&D handicap (heavy, 20/1) 7 days ago. Hasn't shown a great deal this year and is very difficult to enthuse over.
8th	5 8th (5) (5.5/1 +39%) Wurkin Ninetofive	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(5) Wurkin Ninetofive 5.5/1, Modest maiden. 16/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 18 days ago. Yard in form. Ran well from the front over 6f last month and well worth a go over 5f.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LADY CELIA made her second start for the Alan Brown yard a winning one as she scored by a length at Nottingham and, with the winning margin possibly downplaying her superiority over her rivals that day, she is fancied to go in, despite a 3lb rise. Wurkin Ninetofive could give her the most to think about, as she goes off the same rating as when third at Hamilton in this grade last month. Emeralds Pride makes the most appeal of the remainder, but she will need bounce back to form.

If LADY CELIA is in the same form as Nottingham she might be able to defy a small rise. The drop to 5f could be a good move for the unexposed The Caltonian who is second choice ahead of Global Humor.

The 6yo mare LADY CELIA has made a bright start for her new stable this season and still looks well handicapped after a 3lb rise.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2.5/1 +25%) Ayr Poet	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(1) Ayr Poet 2.5/1, Got off the mark for the season following a couple of near-misses in 13-runner handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 7 days ago, finding extra. Carries 4 lb penalty and not taken lightly in his bid to follow up last year's win in this event. As good as ever when winning over 1m here a week ago and only 3lb higher under penalty.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 +56%) Golden Valour	3.5 3.5/1(+56%)	(2) Golden Valour 3.5/1, Temperamental sort. 13/2, creditable 2¾ lengths fourth of 13 to Ayr Poet in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 7 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip. Others still more persuasive. Ran well here three times last month but remains without a win since 2020.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 -6%) Two Rivers	9 9/1(-6%)	(8) Two Rivers 9/1, Unreliable type. 28/1, respectable sixth of 13 to Ayr Poet in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Something to find on form. Unplaced all eight runs, most recently when midfield in 1m race won by Ayr Poet last week.
4	3 4th (3) (8.5/1 -113%) Ice Shadow	8.5 8.5/1(-113%)	(3) Ice Shadow 8.5/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (4/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 5 lb rise. Dominated from the front to open account at Nottingham last month; respected.
5th	5 5th (5) (2.25/1 +0%) Rory The Cat	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(5) Rory The Cat 2.25/1, Arrives in excellent form and landed 10-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago, despite missing break and not enjoying a clear run 2f out. Another bold showing is on the cards with that form working out well. 2-4 for new stable since June and could quite plausibly have more improvement to come.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +25%) Royal Countess	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Royal Countess 12/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in May. 18/1, good fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good) 29 days ago. Well in the mix once more. C&D winner off basement mark on seasonal debut but needs to better his recent efforts.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 -175%) Sprezzatura	33 33/1(-175%)	(4) Sprezzatura 33/1, Off 5 months before coming in only fourth of 5 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on now and can give a good account. Didn't run badly in a maiden last month and current handicap mark ought to be workable.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ICE SHADOW appeared to relish the underfoot conditions when making all at Nottingham recently and the four-year-old could take some stopping off only 5lb more here, with any further rain likely to aid his cause. Ayr Poet is effectively only 3lb higher than last Monday's triumph over 1m here and Jim Goldie's gelding, a previous C&D winner, can't be taken lightly. Fellow last-time-out winner Rory The Cat also arrives in fine fettle and can't be ruled out in his current mood either.

RORY THE CAT holds major claims once more on the back of his Beverley victory with that form having been franked. Last year's victor Ayr Poet rates the chief threat under a 4 lb penalty for his recent course success, with 3-time C&D winner Royal Countess also firmly in the picture.

This can go to RORY THE CAT (nap), who did very well to win at Beverley three weeks ago, having been forced to switch wide.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
