UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

Dubai Jemila, who was well supported ahead of her debut fourth,ought to be better suited by the step up to this trip for the stable and jockey combination who won this last year, and she may be the biggest danger to ESPIONNE. A winner first-time-out at Carlisle, if she improves as hoped then she may prove good enough to successfully give 6lb to all of her rivals. The newcomers are even harder to gauge, with Peaceful Night perhaps the likeliest at this early stage of their careers, though Balalaika looks the part on her breeding.
Prediction : 1st Espionne 2nd Dubai Jemila 3rd Peaceful Night

WILL HE DANCE got off the mark in impressive fashion over 1m 4f at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago and a reproduction of that level of form today may well be good enough to take this contest. That said, the unexposed City Of Life should not be underestimated following an encouraging effort on his handicap debut, while Ayr Poet is another who could go well.
Prediction : 1st Will He Dance 2nd City Of Life 3rd Ayr Poet

Earn Your Stripes and Impressor have both been successful over 6f here this year, and both warrant respect on their return to 5f. Nonetheless, the vote lies with WATER OF LEITH, given he recorded a good second at this track on his most recent outing and retains the mark from that contest. He remains 4lb higher than his last winning mark and further improvement could be just around the corner for this four-year-old.
Prediction : 1st Water Of Leith 2nd Earn Your Stripes 3rd Impressor

This looks tricky but it might be worth siding with the unexposed WHITE WILLOW, who was a determined winner at Thirsk on his penultimate start and has been given a break since May. Richard Fahey's charge is narrowly preferred to What's The Story, who hinted at a return to form at York, but is winless since August 2019. Glasses Up is entitled to respect on his course record alone, while Chance could also have a big say.
Prediction : 1st White Willow 2nd Whats The Story 3rd Chance

A 2lb higher mark from his latest course-and-distance success may not be enough to stop the progressive BEN ASKER in this contest. He displayed marked improvement on his return to the Flat last month, but Judgment Call drops considerably in class and looks the biggest threat to the selection. Connections of One More Try seek further improvement in their gelding by reaching for cheekpieces and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ben Asker 2nd Judgment Call 3rd One More Try

Not many of these are solid, though RETIREMENT BECKONS comes into this in better heart than most. A winner at Hamilton on his penultimate start, the seven-year-old may have enough to hold off the likes of Kraken Filly and the unexposed Dark Eclipse. Mintnthat has just over a length to find with the selection from their meeting over C&D last month and he has the potential to go closer here.
Prediction : 1st Retirement Beckons 2nd Mintnthat 3rd Kraken Filly
