18:12 Ayr (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Trainer Iain Jardine clearly knows the sort needed to win this having been successful in three of the four runnings and he relies on Zaphea here, though she will need to step up on her latest Musselburgh effort. Ganesha warrants respect, but SIXCOR gets the vote. Three times a C&D winner, twice off higher marks, he races off 1lb lower than his recent Musselburgh third and boasts every chance.

All nine can have a case argued but MARIS ANGEL could be the answer off a reduced mark. Pockley and Tanjen are feared most.

18:42 Ayr (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Glasses Up loves it here with 11 wins and, although he is now a 10-year-old, he won off his current mark over C&D in May and is hard to ignore. Whatacracker is admirably consistent and must enter calculations, but OBITO could be the one. Upped in trip after his York fourth, he gets a three-year-old allowance which has to be in his favour.

This can go to Irish raider SI SENIOR, who didn't get the breaks at Galway. Sure And Stedfast is second choice.

19:12 Ayr (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Thunderstorm Katie struck over track and trip on her latest outing and is just 2lb higher, so she has to be taken seriously. Mersea justified short odds to score at Musselburgh last time and is noted, but ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR gets the vote. The four-year-old only found one too good at Thirsk last month and now sports first-time blinkers, which may eke out the improvement required.

Annie Edson Taylor is high on the list but MERSEA (nap) is a cut above a Class 6 performer and can follow up her Musselburgh win.

19:42 Ayr (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking Boy Douglas is likely to have his supporters after his success over 7f here latest, but the vote goes to EMPIRESTATEOFMIND. The seven-year-old finished a respectable third at Chester six days ago and made the frame in this grade at Hamilton prior to that. He lurks on an appealing mark and can get back to winning ways. Two B Tanned completes the shortlist.

This might be set up for EPIDAVROS, who hasn't had much luck with one thing and another this season. Boy Douglas is next best.

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

With a record of two wins from four starts at this track, AL MUQDAD should appreciate the return to Scotland and being dropped 1lb for a creditable fourth at Doncaster last month could prove lenient. David O'Meara's charge gets the vote ahead of the capable Native Honey, and Keep Warm, who has been knocking on the door of late. John L Sullivan is noted too.

A C&D record of 3112 and return to form last time secures AL MUQDAD the nod over last year's race fourth John L Sullivan.

Runner-up on each of her last two starts, including when narrowly denied at Newcastle last week, SASSY GLORY deserves a change in luck and this represents an ideal opportunity to strike. Satyress wasn't disgraced when fourth on her handicap debut at Nottingham last time out and must enter calculations, along with Dazzling Spirit, who is an intriguing contender sent over from Ireland.

Set his easiest assignment and back at 1m2f, ROYAL BLAZE is taken over relatively in-form duo Sassy Glory and Gemini Man.

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.
