UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

ONTHEFRONTFOOT was considered good enough for a crack at the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree, after winning on his debut for Donald McCain at Sedgefield in March, but finished down the field on that occasion. A point-to-point winner, the son of Shantou has plenty of jumping experience in that sphere and is taken to make a winning start over timber. Magellan could take a step forward on his second outing after a wind operation, while the Lucinda Russell pair, Blooriedotcom and Aurora Thunder, look best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Onthefrontfoot 2nd Magellan 3rd Blooriedotcom

RUBYTWO was thwarted by a neck over this trip at Musselburgh in February and is expected to go well this afternoon, despite the fact she's competing off a 2lb higher mark. Im Too Generous has been raised 8lb for his last-time-out Musselburgh victory and is the one expected to put up most resistance. Le Braye drops back from 3m after finishing midfield at Perth last month and appears the pick of Gavin Cromwell's raiding duo.
Prediction : 1st Rubytwo 2nd Im Too Generous 3rd Le Braye

GRAYSTOWN (second) might have won at Carlisle but for a mistake two out 17 days ago, and could claim compensation for Stuart and Sam Coltherd. The seven-year-old won over course and distance in February off 5lb lower, but looks to be on the upgrade and can add further success to his CV. Sophie Olivia remains capable of better as a chaser, while Welcome Ben was second at Kelso last month on his first start since December 2017 and is entitled to strip fitter.
Prediction : 1st Graystown 2nd Sophie Olivia 3rd Welcome Ben

Irish raiders Megabucks and Diggin Deep both warrant respect, particularly the latter who won well over this trip on his last foray to these shores at Doncaster. His latest effort left a bit to be desired, though, so COURT DREAMING gets the vote. Nicky Richards' gelding wasn't beaten far over shorter here last time and shaped as though the step up to this trip would suit. Arthurs Secret and Talkofgold also have claims, though the handicapper may have them in his grip.
Prediction : 1st Court Dreaming 2nd Diggin Deep 3rd Megabucks

MISS BATTEN won an Irish point before flopping on her debut under Rules in November, but she was relatively popular in the betting on that day and could bounce back for Lucinda Russell. The five-year-old has had a wind operation over the winter, and is surely better than what she showed at Hexham 167 days ago. Moylass might just be the pick of the two Stuart Crawford runners, while She'sasupermack caught the eye when a 50-1 third at Sedgefield recently.
Prediction : 1st Miss Batten 2nd Moylass 3rd Shesasupermack

COMMODORE BARRY was a likeable performer over timber last season, winning three times and deemed good enough to compete in a Grade 2 on his most recent appearance at Doncaster. The brave and bold front runner could take all the beating switching to fences if bringing his A game. Get Out The Gate offered encouragement when third in Listed company last time and may be best placed to finish second, while Spinning Scooter brings valuable chase experience to the table.
Prediction : 1st Commodore Barry 2nd Get Out The Gate 3rd Spinning Scooter

Dothraki Prince has posted a couple of solid third-placed efforts and should give another good account, while Streets Of Doyen looks to be the best of Stuart Crawford's two respected runners. However, BIBLICAL made a debut full of promise when a head second behind subsequent winner Old Jeroboam at Wetherby in late March and any improvement will make him difficult to beat on his first outing for Nick Alexander (previously in the care of John Quinn).
Prediction : 1st Biblical 2nd Streets Of Doyen 3rd Dothraki Prince
