UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

ASEAN LEGEND went close in three races over this trip for Hugo Palmer and was far too keen when stepped up in trip on his debut for William Haggas. Back down in distance, he could be the one to beat. Time Quest was unfancied on his debut but made a really good fist of things from the front and could produce a similar performance here, while Drakeholes has claims on his debut run and the returning Marhaba The Champ has a chance.
Prediction : 1st Asean Legend 2nd Time Quest 3rd Drakeholes

Sound Of Iona and Lazyitis are closely matched on their recent Carlisle clash and both warrant respect, with the latter wearing first-time cheekpieces, while Dandys Gold can't be overlooked with talented apprentice Jonny Peate aboard. However, IRIS DANCER was a deserved winner at Hamilton last time and a 3lb rise might not be enough to anchor her if arriving in the same mood.
Prediction : 1st Iris Dancer 2nd Lazyitis 3rd Sound Of Iona

HAVANA PARTY has stepped forward for the application of cheekpieces on his last couple of starts and the four-year-old gets the vote to back up a recent victory at Hamilton. Molinari has been running consistently well this season and he is expected to be in the mix once again after finishing second at Newcastle last time. Busby is capable of bouncing back from an underwhelming effort at Newcastle and warrants respect along with Tommy G.
Prediction : 1st Havana Party 2nd Molinari 3rd Busby

GRAND CANAL narrowly denied Red Force One when the pair met here last month, before the former finished third over an extended 1m4f in a valuable Sunday Series handicap at Musselburgh. The son of Australia shaped as though he would be suited by further and, with improvement likely, he can land the spoils. Witham River travelled powerfully at Ripon on his return from a 65-day break and he may have more to offer over staying trips.
Prediction : 1st Grand Canal 2nd Red Force One 3rd Witham River

This could go in the way of the progressive QUANAH, who hasn't looked back since making the switch from Tapeta back to turf. He has run with promise recently, just losing out by half a length over this course and distance earlier this month off this mark, and could make his presence felt once more. Latin Five should not be underestimated having won comfortably off a 5lb lower mark at Ripon, while Classy Al is another of interest.
Prediction : 1st Quanah 2nd Latin Five 3rd Classy Al

OTTO OYL backed up his decisive course-and-distance success with a gritty win at Yarmouth recently and he can complete the hat-trick this evening. He lines up off the same mark as last time, plus the talented Sean Kirrane takes a further 3lb off his back, so another bold bid looks assured. Cosa Sara has won twice over track and trip in recent weeks and scored again at Hamilton on Wednesday. She carries a 5lb penalty for that latest success but must enter calculations, along with Musselburgh winner Mr Strutter.
Prediction : 1st Otto Oyl 2nd Cosa Sara 3rd Mr Strutter

YAASER proved too strong for his rivals over C&D last month and he's taken to land the hat-trick, despite a 9lb rise in the handicap. Swinging Eddie wasn't far away on his seasonal reappearance and he could land a blow if able to build on that effort, along with Viva Voce, who boasts a consistent level of form. Spartakos is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Yaaser 2nd Viva Voce 3rd Swinging Eddie
