UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

Misemerald has won two of her three starts to date, with the latest of her victories coming over 6f at this track, and she should have no issues with the step back up in distance. However, she does have a 6lb penalty to shoulder, which may open the door for ROMAN SECRET. The daughter of Holy Roman Emperor shaped with plenty of encouragement on her debut at Doncaster when second behind a subsequent winner, and she could take a step forward to strike. Any market support for newcomer Capellina should be noted.
Prediction : 1st Roman Secret 2nd Misemerald 3rd Capellina

Turbo Command must enter calculations on his recent second over 7f here, but Alison Hamilton's keen-going gelding may be worth taking on now upped to 1m. OUR DICKIE was somewhat underwhelming when weakening into seventh over C&D in handicap company last month, but the four-year-old has gone close to winning at classified stakes level on his last two attempts and rates as the most solid proposition. Retirement Beckons and Butterfly Island are viable alternatives on the ratings.
Prediction : 1st Our Dickie 2nd Retirement Beckons 3rd Butterfly Island

JKR COBBLER arrives in search of a hat-trick over C&D following a brace of victories in the space of a week last month and the four-year-old, who was arguably more impressive on his most recent effort, is expected to prove too strong for the opposition, despite a 4lb rise for that latest win. Bernie The Bear is yet to gain his first victory but he has been knocking on the door this season and is entitled to be in the mix, while Vortigan's recent third at Haydock earns him a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jkr Cobbler 2nd Bernie The Bear 3rd Vortigan

The consistent FLYAWAYDREAM was only beaten two lengths into third off this mark on his seasonal debut at Kempton a month ago and a reproduction of that level of form would make him hard to beat here. Theme Park was not at his very best at Ascot last time but is a player based on his third at Chester two starts ago, while Glasses Up is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Flyawaydream 2nd Theme Park 3rd Glasses Up

LADY CELIA made her second start for the Alan Brown yard a winning one as she scored by a length at Nottingham and, with the winning margin possibly downplaying her superiority over her rivals that day, she is fancied to go in, despite a 3lb rise. Wurkin Ninetofive could give her the most to think about, as she goes off the same rating as when third at Hamilton in this grade last month. Emeralds Pride makes the most appeal of the remainder, but she will need bounce back to form.
Prediction : 1st Lady Celia 2nd Wurkin Ninetofive 3rd Emeralds Pride

ICE SHADOW appeared to relish the underfoot conditions when making all at Nottingham recently and the four-year-old could take some stopping off only 5lb more here, with any further rain likely to aid his cause. Ayr Poet is effectively only 3lb higher than last Monday's triumph over 1m here and Jim Goldie's gelding, a previous C&D winner, can't be taken lightly. Fellow last-time-out winner Rory The Cat also arrives in fine fettle and can't be ruled out in his current mood either.
Prediction : 1st Ice Shadow 2nd Ayr Poet 3rd Rory The Cat
