4	4 (4) (10/1 +17%) Yaaser		10 10/1(+17%)																															(4) Yaaser 10/1, Course winner. Career best when readily landing 12-runner handicap at Southwell (7f) 9 days ago. Deserted by Paul Mulrennan this time but still respected under a 5 lb penalty. Wins at 7f-plus but a fast-run race in a big field over 6f could play to his strengths.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -14%) Harry's Halo		16 16/1(-14%)																															(6) Harry's Halo 16/1, Runner-up twice in 6f handicaps in the mud in July. Not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 at Pontefract last month and treated as if still in form. This 3-y-o is one of the least exposed in the line-up. Lightly raced 3yo who could resume his progressive ways when back on a slow surface.
1	3 1st (3) (15/2 +38%) Ascot Adventure		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(3) Ascot Adventure 15/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022 but that doesn't tell the full story as there have been plenty of good placed efforts since joining this yard. Capable of having a say. Races over 7f in the main but a strong pace in this big field can see him to good effect.
2	11 2nd (11) (13/2 +28%) Cold Stare		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(11) Cold Stare 13/2, Has drawn a blank in 25 starts since scoring over C&D (soft) in autumn 2021 but his latest close third at Doncaster (6f, heavy) was creditable. Could have a big say if the ground goes soft. Winless since October 2021 but went very close at Doncaster latest and he likes it here.
3	7 3rd (7) (22/1 -57%) Jordan Electrics		22 22/1(-57%)																															(7) Jordan Electrics 22/1, C&D winner. Bounced back to form when winning 11-runner handicap at Carlisle (5f, good) at the start of this month and backed that up when a creditable third of 14 at Southwell (6f) since. 5 lb penalty. Creditable fifth last season and has won three times this year; might not be far away.
4	24 4th (24) (14/1 +30%) Sir Maxi		14 14/1(+30%)																															(24) Sir Maxi 14/1, Has done well over 6f in recent months, including a win at Pontefract in July. Placed at York and Pontefract since then and simply found things happening too quickly down at 5f for the first time here on Thursday. Should find this more suitable if turned out quickly. Outpaced when mid-division over 5f here yesterday; not written off now back up in trip.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 +36%) Ghathanfar		14 14/1(+36%)																															(9) Ghathanfar 14/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 5/1) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Continues to drop down weights but has to produce more than he's managed on last few runs.
6th	12 6th (12) (33/1 +0%) Catch Cunningham		33 33/1(+0%)																															(12) Catch Cunningham 33/1, Turned in best effort of the campaign from a tumbling mark when fourth at Ripon last month but he failed to build on it at Doncaster last Sunday. Well handicapped but back to having something to prove following Doncaster last Sunday.
7th	13 7th (13) (40/1 +20%) Borough		40 40/1(+20%)																															(13) Borough 40/1, Pair of 5f wins this summer, the first one here. Another solid run when second at Catterick (5f) last month but his run of good form came to a halt at Carlisle 3 weeks ago and he was also well held here on Thursday. Won twice this summer but below par the last twice, most recently here yesterday.
8th	14 8th (14) (40/1 -82%) B Associates		40 40/1(-82%)																															(14) B Associates 40/1, Has proved a real money-spinner this year, producing a career best to notch his fifth win of the campaign in 7f Carlisle handicap last month. Creditable third back there (7f again) since. Just as effective at 6f. His penalty puts him on a career-high mark. 3yo who has won five times this year, mainly at 7f but once over 6f; has a chance.
9th	1 9th (1) (11/2 +21%) Rock Melody		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(1) Rock Melody 11/2, Hold up performer who scored twice over 5f at Musselburgh this summer and arrives on the back of a creditable runner-up effort there last weekend. Just as effective over 6f (third of 16 over C&D in July) and the mount of Paul Mulrennan from the Goldie contingent. Two wins this year and has also posted an eyecatching 3rd of 16 over C&D; respected.
10th	15 10th (15) (25/1 -14%) Trabajo Detecho		25 25/1(-14%)																															(15) Trabajo Detecho 25/1, Two AW wins at Newcastle at the start of the year and went in again Hamilton (6f) in July. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (7f, soft) 9 days ago. This is more competitive than he's used to but not ruled out each-way now back down to 6f.
11th	22 11th (22) (25/1 -25%) After John		25 25/1(-25%)																															(22) After John 25/1, Racked up an AW hat-trick at Newcastle at the end of 2022. Went close to another win there in February but it's hard to get too excited by his recent turf efforts. A couple of fair efforts on turf this summer but now 2-31 on grass; others more compelling.
12th	18 12th (18) (18/1 -13%) Asadjumeirah		18 18/1(-13%)																															(18) Asadjumeirah 18/1, Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022 but most recent efforts have been creditable, including his fourth of 11 at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, never nearer. Can make presence felt. On a long losing run and will need everything to drop right, but often runs well in defeat.
13th	21 13th (21) (12/1 +25%) Kats Bob		12 12/1(+25%)																															(21) Kats Bob 12/1, C&D winner on soft in July. Ran well enough to think he's still in good form when fourth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft) on Monday. Two big runs over C&D in the summer and could give a good account now back here.
14th	2 14th (2) (15/2 +6%) Music Society		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(2) Music Society 15/2, Won this race in 2019 and a respectable sixth in it last year. Another good run over C&D when second of 16 in July and he's capable of bouncing back from a below-par effort at Newmarket last month. 2 lb below his last winning mark. Won this in 2019 and he's one to consider judged on his close second over C&D this July.
15th	23 15th (23) (50/1 -52%) Shallow Hal		50 50/1(-52%)																															(23) Shallow Hal 50/1, C&D winner. Got his head back in front at Carlisle in July but his 3 runs since have been disappointing. Due to run in the 5.17 here on Thursday. Won at Carlisle in July but well beaten on next four starts, the latest here yesterday.
16th	5 16th (5) (22/1 -22%) Novak		22 22/1(-22%)																															(5) Novak 22/1, Final leg of a hat-trick in May/June came over C&D but the handicapper has been winning the argument since. Won three in a row in May/June but unplaced on last three starts.
17th	10 17th (10) (33/1 +0%) Show Me Show Me		33 33/1(+0%)																															(10) Show Me Show Me 33/1, Reacted well to the fitting of a visor when winning over 5f at Beverley and Windsor in August but his 2 runs since suggest the effects of the headgear have worn off. Won two in a row last month but has finished down the field the last twice.
18th	20 18th (20) (40/1 -21%) Bellagio Man		40 40/1(-21%)																															(20) Bellagio Man 40/1, Visored first time, ran poorly when eighth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 48 days ago. Regular cheekpieces back on now. On a reduced mark but needs something extra to return to winning ways in this warm contest.
19th	25 19th (25) (33/1 +34%) Claim The Stars		33 33/1(+34%)																															(25) Claim The Stars 33/1, Finally got off the mark in a 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but hasn't reproduced that form in 3 outings since, including last of 13 at Redcar on Tuesday. Off the mark at the 20th attempt at Thirsk in June but has failed to kick on from that.
20th	8 20th (8) (17/2 +39%) Little Muddy		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(8) Little Muddy 17/2, Started the season with wins at Doncaster (5f, heavy) and over C&D (good) and showed he's still in form when second of 11 at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) last month. Any easing of the ground would increase his chance. Two wins this spring & some good form this summer, also; every chance she'll be in the mix.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A typically wide-open renewal in which chances can be made for plenty. Jordan Electrics was fifth in this 12 months ago and looks to be peaking at the right time in order to mount another stern challenge. Ascot Adventure has been in consistent form and could go well coming off a strong pace, along with stablemate Cold Stare. ASADJUMEIRAH finished sixth in the Silver Trophy at Ripon last month and is 13lb lower than when finishing a creditable 10th in last year's Silver Cup. He shades preference, while Kats Bob and Little Muddy are just two others to consider.

2019 winner MUSIC SOCIETY underlined he's well suited to this C&D when second in another big-field race in July and looks handicapped to strike having dropped 3 lb in the meantime. Jim Goldie pair American Affair, who shaped very well when third over 5f here on Thursday, and Rock Melody head the many dangers. Cold Stare could also have a big run in him if the ground goes soft.

The filly ROCK MELODY (nap) returned to form at Musselburgh last Sunday and caught the eye in the Gold Cup Trial over C&D in July.
