UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

Haazeez was producing all of his best work at the finish when fifth on his racecourse bow at Newbury just over a fortnight ago and left the impression that he could take a big step forward. Triple Charged displayed signs of greenness on his first start at Ripon and better is expected from Karl Burke's colt, but the vote goes to newcomer ELECTROLYTE. Bought for 220,000 pounds at the Goffs UK Breeze-Up, connections recently had an impressive debut winner at Bath, who was also purchased from the same sale, and a big run is anticipated.
Prediction : 1st Electrolyte 2nd Haazeez 3rd Triple Charged

DESERT QUEST took a step in the right direction when runner-up at Musselburgh on his return to turf last time and the C&D winner has every chance of getting his head back in front. Laudable (second) and Yakhabar (third) were only separated by a short head when meeting over C&D last month and the pair are both of interest once again. The former does need to bounce back from his run at Beverley on Wednesday, but the switch of headgear might just sweeten him up.
Prediction : 1st Desert Quest 2nd Laudable 3rd Yakhabar

Irish contender LITTLE EMPIRE has made a decent impact since beginning his visits to the UK with a victory at Wolverhampton backed up by a placed effort at the same track. The four-year-old is unlikely to have any issues with the switch to turf and remains with the scope for further improvement. Paco's Pride was placed over C&D last time and is expected to be competitive once again, while similar comments apply to Young Fire.
Prediction : 1st Little Empire 2nd Pacos Pride 3rd Young Fire

WESTERNESSE did well to finish half a length behind the winner in third after rearing up when the stalls opened at Ripon last time and, provided his antics at the start don't become a habitual occurrence, he can go two places better off an unchanged mark. Vocal Studies made a pleasing start to life with this stable when running out a game winner over a mile at Thirsk last month, while Boy Douglas completes the shortlist for a trainer who is operating at a 38 percent strike-rate at this venue this year.
Prediction : 1st Westernesse 2nd Vocal Studies 3rd Boy Douglas

This represents an ease in grade for AYR POET and, on the back of a decent third on his seasonal reappearance over C&D last month, he gets the vote to return to winning ways. Life On The Rocks showed a willing attitude to get up in the shadows of the post over 1m2f at Redcar last week and, off an unchanged mark sporting a first-time visor, he warrants the utmost respect. Comfortable last-time-out winner Redondo also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Ayr Poet 2nd Life On The Rocks 3rd Redondo

BOWMAN only found an in-form rival too good when finishing second over C&D last month and, off an unchanged mark, a reproduction of that effort may well suffice. Helter Skelter has posted some solid efforts in defeat this season and the application of cheekpieces can help him while he lurks on an attractive mark. Recent C&D winner Monhammer also enters calculations but inconsistency continues to be the main concern with him.
Prediction : 1st Bowman 2nd Helter Skelter 3rd Monhammer
