UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

Walk In Marrakesh sets the standard having won at Beverley, although the daughter of Siyouni is now forced to concede weight all round. With that in mind, preference is for ALIX JAMES, who was only narrowly denied by a rival with previous experience at Carlisle last month, and the winner has gone in again since. Woke chased home a filly who was subsequently placed in a Listed race on her Haydock debut and she completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Alix James 2nd Walk In Marrakesh 3rd Woke

TOMILY returned to winning ways at Windsor a couple of weeks ago and the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal now he has joined the David O'Meara team. The unexposed Metal Exchange ran well under a penalty in a Redcar novice race on her first start on turf and she may improve for the switch to handicap company. Scuzeme, Amazing Grazing and Saturday's Hamilton victor Art Of Unity are the pick of the remaining field.
Prediction : 1st Tomily 2nd Metal Exchange 3rd Scuzeme

KODIMOOR narrowly sprung a surprise in a competitive race at Beverley earlier in the month and he should take plenty of beating again off just a 1lb higher mark. Cliff Bay was only just denied at Musselburgh last time out in his bid to follow up his Carlisle triumph, and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Colour Contrast and Retirement Beckons.
Prediction : 1st Kodimoor 2nd Cliff Bay 3rd Colour Contrast

FOREVER A LADY's last couple of efforts suggest that a fifth career victory could be right around the corner for the six-year-old and, off the same mark as her narrow defeat at Musselburgh last time out, today could be her day. Midnitemudcrabs is a very interesting raider from Ireland, while Donnelly's Rainbow and Let Right Be Done are others who can go well in a wide-open contest.
Prediction : 1st Forever A Lady 2nd Midnitemudcrabs 3rd Donnellys Rainbow

Inner Circle has to be respected following his victory at Thirsk, but preference is for last year's winner TOMMY G. Jim Goldie's gelding has form figures of '13115' over this course and distance and he arrives just 2lb above his last winning mark. Astrologer struggled in a Listed race at Carlisle but her previous form gives her a big chance, while Esprit De Corps and the progressive Dutch Pursuit also have to be considered.
Prediction : 1st Tommy G 2nd Inner Circle 3rd Astrologer

A chance can be taken on DANIELSFLYER, who ran well off a 3lb higher rating in a valuable race at York two starts ago and the last time he competed off this mark, he was only beaten a short head. The unexposed Boston George has displayed a high level of ability in novice company and could go very well on his handicap debut. Nicholas T and Ventura Knight are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Danielsflyer 2nd Boston George 3rd Nicholas T

All three of PUDDING CHARE's victories have come at this track and that includes his decisive success in an apprentices' race over 7f a week ago. The five-year-old does not have to carry a penalty for that win, so is hard to oppose. Abushamah and Chinese Spirit have also got their heads in front in recent months and they could be the biggest threats to the selection, ahead of Outside Inside.
Prediction : 1st Pudding Chare 2nd Abushamah 3rd Chinese Spirit

A tricky race to close the card but the nod goes to ARMS OF THE ANGEL, based on her second-placed finish in a competitive contest at Epsom on Thursday. Four Kingdoms has run well in defeat on multiple occasions this year and he has be in the mix again. The shortlist is completed by Kajaki, Shine Baby Shine and Spark of War.
Prediction : 1st Arms Of The Angel 2nd Four Kingdoms 3rd Shine Baby Shine
