UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

HERESMAX is an unexposed four-year-old who put in a significant career best when finishing second in a competitive contest over 1m4f at Catterick three weeks ago. The son of Gutaifan is 3lb well-in today and merits the utmost respect. King Charles is an obvious threat to the selection based on his victory at Wolverhampton two starts ago, while Termonator is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Heresmax 2nd King Charles 3rd Termonator

CARVA MYRINE makes plenty of appeal on her racecourse bow as she boasts a decent pedigree, with two of her half-brothers being rated 104 and 100 at their best, and Richard Fahey's filly gets the vote to make a winning start to her career. Show Compassion is likely to enter calculations, being related to a Listed juvenile winner, while a repeat of Gentle Ellen's form last season would give her every chance of being in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Carva Myrine 2nd Show Compassion 3rd Gentle Ellen

POET'S MAGIC kept on well to get second on her most recent run over this trip at Haydock and, given she remains just 3lb higher than her last winning mark, she is more than capable of regaining the winning thread. She has a good record at Ayr, with two wins and two seconds from four runs, and she could go well again. Ventura Rascal and Jump The Gun are others who merit a lot of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Poets Magic 2nd Ventura Rascal 3rd Jump The Gun

A chance is taken on handicap debutant CLAPHAM SECT, who steps up to 7f for the first time. Michael Dods' charge has stamina in her pedigree and this could spark the required improvement she needs to get off the mark. Hegemon (second) and Cobra Kai (third) are closely matched on their meeting at Thirsk and both look set to go well once more, while Yeeeaah is another to consider in cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Clapham Sect 2nd Hegemon 3rd Cobra Kai

FLYLIKEANEAGLE arrives here in dazzling form, winning three of his last four and finishing a half-length second on the other occasion, and a 5lb penalty for the latest of those victories at Nottingham last week might not be enough to anchor him. Far From A Ruby will benefit from Aiden Brookes' valuable claim and she rates the biggest threat, although Musselburgh scorer Bobby Shaftoe cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Flylikeaneagle 2nd Far From A Ruby 3rd Bobby Shaftoe

A trappy affair where a case can be made for most of these, but SOPHIESTICATE is running for the in-form Jim Goldie yard and has gone close a few times already. She may not get any better opportunities than this to shed her maiden tag. Russian Virtue looks the biggest danger having been narrowly touched off over C&D three days ago and if that hasn't taken too much out of him, he can go close again. Ninky Nonk is upped to this trip for the first time and is respected.
Prediction : 1st Sophiesticate 2nd Russian Virtue 3rd Ninky Nonk
