UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

TAJAWAL would have likely finished closer but for being hampered at Sandown last month and he looks more than capable of winning a race of this nature now dropped in class. Lil' Frank posted an encouraging second on his return to action at Southwell in early May and appears to be the obvious danger returning to turf. Fiver Friday shouldn't be far away if judged on her debut performance, while newcomer Angel From Above is worth a market check.
Prediction : 1st Tajawal 2nd Lil Frank 3rd Fiver Friday

ALETHIOMETER made a very pleasing return to action at Redcar over a mile when only beaten a length and a half, for which she has been put up 2lb. The daughter of Aclaim struck over this distance in July last year and she could prove tough to beat under Callum Rodriguez. The main threat is Woobay, who has taken a step forward on each of her three starts and is an interesting contender on her handicap bow, while Gometra Ginty rates best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Alethiometer 2nd Woobay 3rd Gometra Ginty

St Andrew's Castle had five of these in behind when he won here last month and the five-year-old looks a key player once again. However, FIFTY SENT looks the way to go after his game success when giving 14lb to Tafsir on the Tapeta at Newcastle last month. A 2lb higher mark is hardly restrictive and there are solid foundations to build from now he is back on turf. Coconut Bay also appeals back in trip with a tongue-tie applied.
Prediction : 1st Fifty Sent 2nd St Andrews Castle 3rd Coconut Bay

IMPERATIVE is bred to stay well and has improved on his last couple of starts, including when getting off the mark here over 1m 5f last month, and the four-year-old appears capable of defying a 4lb rise from the handicapper. Stable companion Annandale is turned out quickly following his third at Carlisle on Thursday and warrants plenty of respect. Jim Goldie saddles half the field and, of his trio, Baez makes the most appeal up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Imperative 2nd Annandale 3rd Baez

ONE LAST HUG failed to land a hat-trick when stepping back up in trip for his latest outing at Redcar, but the fact he saw off Stay Smart and Freedom Flyer when scoring on his penultimate and third-last runs suggests he is capable of bouncing back. He is rated 5lb higher than when recording a staying-on success over C&D last month, though, so Kraken Power can give him plenty to think about following a decent third over 6f last month. Ruth Carr's reopposing six-year-old completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st One Last Hug 2nd Kraken Power 3rd Freedom Flyer

BIPLANE returned to winning ways when adopting more positive tactics at Newcastle last month and she looks capable of shrugging off a 4lb rise if displaying a similar approach on this switch to turf. Kalahari Prince has slowly been coming into form and the David O'Meara-trained gelding isn't taken lightly now 4lb lower his Redcar triumph in October. Alpine Sierra may be freshened up by a change of scenery and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Biplane 2nd Kalahari Prince 3rd Alpine Sierra

Global Humor got up to score by a nose last time over 6f at this track and he goes off a 3lb higher mark, which keeps him in with a big shout. However, preference is still for PRIMO'S COMET, who is an unknown at this trip but has shaped as if a step up in distance will suit him. Therefore, he is fancied to be rewarded for his recent consistency. Angel Amadea is another to consider, as she wasn't disgraced at Doncaster last time and she steps back up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Primos Comet 2nd Global Humor 3rd Angel Amadea
