Today’s tip comes from Ayr where it will be interesting to see how a charge from the Hills stable comes on from her debut. FINE THREADS enjoyed a pleasing introduction to racing at Warwick last month and she is sure to improve with that initial experience under her belt so is fancied to get off the mark this afternoon.

Today’s tip comes from Ayr where MISPLACED FORTUNE looks overpriced. Nigel Tinkler’s charge ran a cracker off her current mark at York last time and remains in the form of her life this term. She’s done well in big fields before and today’s softening ground could play to her strengths.

Today’s tip comes from Ayr where Joseph O’Brien has the best mount in a good apprentice handicap. Although the opposition is respectable, GRAMS AND OUNCES has the best form in the race, most notably his 2nd placed finish LTO in a tough handicap at Haydock. Son of A P O’Brien, the jockey is a very talented young man and should have enough tactical expertise to ensure this horse justifies favouritism.

Today’s tip comes from Ayr where Barry Smart sends out SIRENUSE as another warmup before next month’s Investec Dash at Epsom. Ready winner LTO, running on well at the finish. Is only up 4lbs for that and still looks progressive. The trip and ground suit very well and she also has a handy draw. Connections are hopeful about this horse and she should give a good account today.

Today’s tip comes from Ayr where previous Grade 2 winner DEGAS ART looks to confirm the resurgent form he’s displayed at home. A past winner off marks of 140+, he gets in today at 120 with a 3lb claimer on board. He has beaten some big horses in his day, notbably Katchit on his hurldes debut. Has had his share of injuries which have hampered his performances off and on the course but word is that he is in good heart for today and should run a big race off this mark.

Today’s tip comes from Ayr where JONNY LESTER’S HAIR looks to exploit a favourable handicap mark at present. He posted an impressive 2nd over course and distance LTO to the progressive “Ishiadancer”, who also runs today. He hasn’t won since September 2008 but has 2 wins to his name over today’s trip, both off higher marks than his current 65 rating. He has been dropped 2lb since his last second place where, as already mentioned, he did very well. He also has a previous win to his name on soft going so the ground conditions shouldn’t pose a problem.

Today’s tip comes from Ayr where a veteran horse from the James Goldie stable bids to maintain his fantastic course and distance record. STELLITE has won over course and distance three times and is the only CD winner in the race. His latest win was here in a Class 4 handicap, back in June, off a mark of 66. Had a 3lb claimer on board that day so effectively he is only 1lb higher today running off a mark of 69 with a 5lb claimer on board. There are a few front runners in the race which could play into this horse’s favour as the he traditionally likes to pick up late on. Should love the going as well, having placed and won on Good going already this season. Was also a good 4th LTO in a Class 4 handicap, drops back down in class today.
