UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

The strength of Fred On Fire's Newcastle debut success has yet to be truly tested but, given that he pulled well clear with the runner-up, he needs respecting under a penalty. Dandy Man colt King's Call represents an in-form Kevin Ryan yard so it would come as no surprise were he to feature on his racecourse bow, though preference is for PENINSULA POWER. Richard Fahey's charge shaped with promise on his first start at Redcar last month and he can step forward with that experience under his belt.
Prediction : 1st Peninsula Power 2nd Fred On Fire 3rd Kings Call

ISLAND OF SKYE showed a willing attitude when recording a narrow success on the back of a 170-day absence at Thirsk three weeks ago. That performance can be marked up given that he was held up off a slow pace and, should he take another step forward, a 2lb rise in more than manageable. Young Fire bumped into a progressive rival at Doncaster recently and has to be of significant interest along with Going Underground. If turned out quickly following Saturday's victory at Hamilton, Jumeira Vision commands the utmost respect in search of a four-timer.
Prediction : 1st Island Of Skye 2nd Young Fire 3rd Going Underground

Mythical Phoenix deserves a change of luck having occupied the runner-up spot on each of his four starts for the Julie Camacho team. He's considered nudged up a further 1lb in the ratings, but the unexposed ALFA KELLENIC is a sprinter on the up and she gets the vote. A comfortable winner at Thirsk on her handicap bow in June, she followed up in similar fashion at York a week later, suggesting she is surely capable of defying a hefty 9lb rise. Others to note include Aberama Gold and Batal Zabeel.
Prediction : 1st Alfa Kellenic 2nd Mythical Phoenix 3rd Aberama Gold

RAMON DI LORIA looks set to make a bold bid having finished third at Carlisle latest. He was winning off a much higher rating at the same venue last season and it could be his turn again. Atomise will likely finish in the mix once more, despite finishing only third when sent off favourite here a week ago, while Earn Your Stripes won this contest in 2022 and is preferred to Water Of Leith of the rest. Giselles Izzy isn't discounted either if backing up her Hamilton success on Saturday.
Prediction : 1st Ramon Di Loria 2nd Atomise 3rd Earn Your Stripes

CODE PURPLE has slipped down the handicap ratings and took advantage to record a comfortable success at Musselburgh. He made every yard on that occasion and can defy a 6lb rise if allowed his own way at the head of affairs once again. Makalu has won three times over a mile already this year and can figure over this shorter distance, while Global Humor could bounce back to form at any time.
Prediction : 1st Code Purple 2nd Makalu 3rd Global Humor

LEAP YEAR LAD bounced back to form in first-time blinkers when beaten only a neck at Nottingham. Kevin Ryan's four-year-old can return to winning ways and prevent Empire Of Light from landing a double in the process. The latter returned a surprise 28/1 winner at Haydock last month and is expected to be competitive, despite a 5lb rise, while the more exposed pair, Hortzadar and Tilsitt, have a bit more to find off their current handicap marks.
Prediction : 1st Leap Year Lad 2nd Empire Of Light 3rd Hortzadar
