14:00 – Supporting Ayr Racecourse, The John Cocking Irish EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 7f | Class 3 | Going: 2.00, 3.30, 4.00 & 4.30 +9yds and 5.05 +18yds) (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick 8.6) (watering) (rail movements) | | flat
This may only be a five-runner novice, but it is not lacking in interest. Weleyff, Love Rome and Mr Minz all bring racecourse experience after debut thirds, while Vega King and Astral Crown represent powerful northern yards and could easily know their jobs first time up. The market is already telling a fairly clear story, with Weleyff and Vega King dominating the head of affairs, and that looks about right on what we know. Love Rome has a fair chance of stepping forward again, but this feels like a race where raw ability and natural progression will decide it rather than hard, established form. Small fields can get tactical at Ayr, so position and professionalism over this 7f will matter plenty.
Top Selections
1. Weleyff – 15/8 with Betfair
Jockey: Oisin Orr | Trainer: Edward Bethell | Form: 3 | Rating: 70 | Topspeed: 50
Weleyff sets the standard among those we have actually seen, and in a race where two of the main dangers are debutants, that counts for plenty. His opening third produced a fair enough baseline, and the combination of a 70 rating and the best Topspeed figure in the field suggests there was solid substance to it rather than just a promising introduction. Bethell’s juveniles are usually taught well and Oisin Orr is a good booking to keep things straightforward in what could become tactical. At 15/8, he is not exactly a hidden gem, but he still looks the most solid option in a race short on certainty. Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in this small field: Weleyff is the win bet and the only one worth backing outright. There is no each-way angle with just five runners and two places on offer. Vega King is the obvious danger on stable reputation and market strength, while Love Rome has the strongest case of the exposed runners if stepping forward from debut.

14:30 – 25% Off Lunch At Western House Hotel Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 2.00, 3.30, 4.00 & 4.30 +9yds and 5.05 +18yds) (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick 8.6) (watering) (rail movements) | | flat
This looks a proper Ayr sprint handicap: plenty with bits of form, not many arriving bombproof. Woohoo is the obvious one after a solid second and the market has latched onto her, but she is hardly thrown in and this is the sort of race where draw, pace and track position can make all the difference over the minimum trip. Wee Mary is low drawn and nicely treated at the weights, while Brazen Idol has become dangerously well handicapped if able to reproduce his better efforts. Jm Jhingree comes here off a win but has to prove that wasn’t a one-off, and King’s Crown is another who has been threatening without quite getting his head in front. Tricky enough, with value likely away from the favourite.
Top Selections
1. Wee Mary – 17/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Lauren Young | Trainer: Jim Goldie | Form: 421624 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 65
Wee Mary makes plenty of appeal in a race where the favourite looks short enough. She has been holding her form well, with a win and a couple of solid placed efforts in recent starts before another respectable fourth last time, and this low draw in stall 3 could be a real asset around Ayr over 5f. She is racing off 78 but gets in here with just 123, which gives her a definite edge against some older rivals carrying plenty more. Jim Goldie knows exactly how to place these sprinters and at 17/2 she looks overpriced for one with such a workable setup. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Brazen Idol – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean D Bowen | Trainer: John Ryan | Form: /27728 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 67
Brazen Idol is the each-way angle because this is not a deep Class 5 and his recent second and latest eighth do not tell the whole story. He shaped better than the bare result when midfield last time and the run before that showed he still retains enough speed to be competitive from this sort of mark. Drawn in stall 1, he should have every chance to bag a handy position, which matters in these sharp Ayr dashes. He is not the easiest to win with these days, but 8/1 is fair in a race lacking certainty and he looks the type to outrun his price if getting the breaks. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Wee Mary is the win play at a price, with her low draw and light weight making her very appealing in a tight little sprint. Brazen Idol is the each-way punt from the inside stall in a race where several have questions to answer. Woohoo is the obvious danger after that latest second, while Jm Jhingree is respected if backing up his recent win.

15:00 – Watch Racing TV Free For 31 Days Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 6 | Going: 2.00, 3.30, 4.00 & 4.30 +9yds and 5.05 +18yds) (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick 8.6) (watering) (rail movements) | | flat
This looks a proper sprint handicap for the grade rather than a weak Class 6, with several arriving in decent nick and not much separating the principals on recent form. White Ladder comes here on the back of a win and still has the profile of a 3yo going the right way, while Azuinthejungle and Taygar have been knocking hard on the door in similar company. Jim Goldie throws a few at it, with Water Of Leith, Thunderstorm Katie and Doon The Glen all capable of getting involved if the race falls their way. Over 6f at Ayr on quick ground, a handy position and the ability to travel strongly will count for plenty. It is competitive, but not impossible to solve, and the younger legs of White Ladder make plenty of appeal.
Top Selections
1. White Ladder – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean D Bowen | Trainer: John Ryan | Form: 72-331 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 59
White Ladder is the obvious one, but sometimes the obvious one is still the right one. He has improved with racing this year, backed up a pair of solid placed efforts by getting his head in front last time, and that form string suggests a 3yo who has found his level and may not be done yet. A mark of 67 looks workable in this company and he receives weight from some older, exposed sprinters who have had plenty of chances. Sean D Bowen keeps the ride and if this progressive sort gets a smooth tow into the race, he should take a bit of pegging back. At 9/4, he is short enough, but still hard to oppose.
Bet: WIN
2. Thunderstorm Katie – 8/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Lauren Young | Trainer: Jim Goldie | Form: 972226 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 60
Thunderstorm Katie looks the each-way value in a race where consistency should count for plenty. She has been running well without winning, and that sequence of placed efforts before a fair sixth last time tells you she is holding her form. Her Topspeed figure of 60 stacks up nicely in this field, and from stall 9 she should be able to stay out of trouble and attack late if they go hard enough up front. Jim Goldie’s runners are always worth respecting in these northern sprint handicaps, and this mare has fewer questions to answer than plenty of these. Available at 8/1, she makes plenty of appeal as the solid each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
White Ladder is the win play because he is the one with momentum and a bit more upside than these battle-hardened older sprinters. For an each-way alternative, Thunderstorm Katie makes more appeal at the prices than some of the shorter ones. Azuinthejungle and Taygar are obvious dangers after recent efforts, while Water Of Leith is another who could easily sneak into the frame.

This looks a pretty typical Ayr mile handicap at the lower end of the scale: competitive enough, but not overflowing with solid recent winners. Runninsonofagun sets the standard on recent form and is the obvious one after a respectable fifth last time, while Braes Of Doune has plenty of old course-and-distance know-how and should come on for his return. Millbuie is another with a live chance from a light weight, and Thats My Boy Luke is creeping back into form without quite convincing that he wants to get his head in front. Several others, including Starliner and Eagles Dream, have bits and pieces of form that give them a squeak, but this is still the sort of race where current sharpness and a well-timed ride are likely to decide it rather than outright class.
Top Selections
1. Runninsonofagun – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Jason Hart | Trainer: Tristan Davidson | Form: 3-0835 | Rating: 79 | Topspeed: 67
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where some of these arrive with questions attached. That latest fifth was solid enough in the context of this grade, and his overall profile suggests he’s holding his form better than most. Jason Hart is a positive booking for a yard that also runs Eagles Dream, and this one looks the stable first string on recent evidence. He’s not thrown in, but he does have the look of a horse who should be very competitive in a Class 6 mile if getting a decent pace to aim at. At 9/4 he isn’t a giveaway, but he is the likeliest winner. End with him.
Bet: WIN
2. Millbuie – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: William Pyle | Trainer: Ewan Whillans | Form: 486303 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 69
Millbuie looks the value angle if you’re searching for an each-way play. He’s been knocking on the door without managing to land one, and that recent third suggested he’s still capable of being very competitive from this sort of mark. Carrying just 118, he gets in here with a nice racing weight, and his Topspeed figure stacks up well enough against the principals. In a race lacking depth, consistency at this level counts for plenty, and he doesn’t need dramatic improvement to hit the frame again. At 7/1, he makes a fair bit more appeal than some shorter-priced rivals with shakier recent profiles.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Runninsonofagun is the win play because he’s the one bringing the most reliable recent form into an ordinary Class 6. For an each-way punt, Millbuie makes more appeal than the more obvious alternatives thanks to his low weight and recent placed effort. Braes Of Doune is the obvious danger if bouncing forward from his reappearance, while Thats My Boy Luke is another to keep on side.

This looks a competitive little 0-70 where recent winning form is on show but there are also a few lurking off workable marks. Jkr Cobbler arrives on the back of a Catterick win and is the obvious starting point from a handy low draw, while War Memorial has been doing plenty right in similar company and won again last time. Imperial Guard is more intriguing than bombproof, but he is dropping into the sort of race he can make his presence felt in if reviving. Ramon Di Loria and Monhammer are the solid place types, whereas Tap Dancer has the raw pace figures to get involved if rediscovering his better form. It is not a deep race, but it is the kind of handicap where track position and timing matter plenty.
Top Selections
1. Jkr Cobbler – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Nicholls | Trainer: Iain Jardine | Form: 457341 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 57
Jkr Cobbler makes plenty of appeal after getting the job done at Catterick and, in truth, that latest run suggested he is still very effective in this grade despite a seven-year-old’s profile. He has a good draw in stall 2, comes here in form and his overall sequence says he has been knocking on the door for a while rather than fluking one. An official mark of 72 asks a question, but not an impossible one in a race lacking much depth. At 15/8 he is no giveaway, though he is still hard to oppose given the recent win and the strength of his current consistency. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Imperial Guard – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: Michael Dods | Form: 96-885 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 52
Imperial Guard is the each-way angle in the race because he is better than his recent finishing positions suggest and this is a significant drop into ordinary Class 6 company. Michael Dods does well with these tough northern handicappers and Connor Beasley is an eye-catching booking in a race that may not take much winning. He has enough old ability off 71 to think he can get much closer if this sharper test on fast ground helps him travel a bit sweeter. The market has him at 5/1, which feels fair rather than flashy, but in a nine-runner race with three places he looks the sensible each-way punt against the favourite.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Jkr Cobbler is the percentage call and makes most appeal as the win bet after his recent success. Imperial Guard is the more speculative play, but he is dropping into a weak enough race to make 5/1 look workable each-way. War Memorial is the obvious danger after another win, while Monhammer and Ramon Di Loria can nick minor money if the principals underperform.

This small-field handicap revolves around a handful with perfectly solid claims, but it is hardly a deep race. Pearl Eye brings the highest mark and the best recent winning form, while Spiritoftheblues looks the obvious threat as a lightly raced 3yo who shaped with promise when runner-up last time. Pol Roger is consistent enough and should be in the mix again, though he has had his chances, while Polygram and Light The Night Up need a bit more than they have shown of late. In tactical races like this at Ayr, position and pace matter plenty, and that may just suit Spiritoftheblues, who gets weight from the older horses and still has the scope to improve past them.
Top Selections
1. Spiritoftheblues – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Tudhope | Trainer: David O’Meara | Form: 18-72 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 66
This 3yo makes most appeal in a race where the exposed older brigade do not set an impossible standard. His latest second suggested he is learning his job and stepping forward after a reappearance seventh, and that form line gives him a proper chance off 80. The weight pull is significant in a five-runner event over this trip, and O’Meara runners are always worth respecting in these northern handicaps when Tudhope is booked. At 5/2, he is no giveaway, but he still looks the one with more improvement to come and that matters here. Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only five runners, this is a straight win play and Spiritoftheblues is the one to side with. He gets the vote over Pearl Eye, who is the clear danger on figures and recent form, while Pol Roger is the one most likely to nick a place if the principals underperform. No each-way angle in a field this small.

This is a tight little six-runner staying handicap and, for all the small field, it is not completely straightforward. Jim Goldie looks to hold a strong hand with both Cascade Hall and Annandale, two runners arriving in decent nick and proven in this sort of company. Simple Star also has obvious claims on the figures and shaped well when runner-up last time, while Inappropriate has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front. The pace angle matters here because there is not much room for hiding in a race like this, and on quick ground over 1m5f tactical positioning could prove decisive. It is a competitive Class 5 rather than a deep one, and that often makes value easier to find than certainty.
Top Selections
1. Cascade Hall – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jake Dickson | Trainer: Jim Goldie | Form: -12134 | Rating: 85 | Topspeed: 73
Cascade Hall makes plenty of appeal in a race where current well-being counts for a lot. His recent form is solid, with two wins earlier in the campaign and no sign of a horse going backwards judged on his latest fourth. He is effectively one of the more dependable operators in this line-up, and Goldie’s runners in these staying handicaps are rarely short of honesty. The handicapper has not lost the plot with him, and a mark of 85 still looks workable if he gets a sensible trip. At 5/2 he is not a giveaway, but he is the one who brings the cleanest profile into the race and looks the percentage call. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Inappropriate – 9/2 with William Hill
Jockey: Conor Whiteley | Trainer: Ewan Whillans | Form: 2-6243 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 60
Inappropriate is the each-way play purely because this race may set up for a grinder who keeps finding the frame. His recent sequence of 2, 6, 2, 4 and 3 tells you he is running his race more often than not, and in a six-runner event with two places on offer that sort of consistency is worth respecting. He has a touch more weight than ideal, but he is battle-hardened and this does not look a contest packed with improvers. Conor Whiteley knows how to ride Ayr and if he can keep this one in striking distance turning for home, he should be involved again. Available at 9/2, he looks the sensible each-way punt rather than an all-out win play. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Cascade Hall is the win bet on the strength of his reliable recent profile and the feeling he is still on a workable mark for this grade. For an each-way alternative, Inappropriate makes more appeal than most because he keeps hitting the frame and should give you a run for your money. The obvious dangers are Annandale, who is thriving, and Simple Star, who has the class to make this interesting.
