UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

TELE RED has been running well without troubling the judge recently, but Karl Burke's charge is now 1lb lower than when landing the corresponding event 12 months ago. He is fancied to regain the winning thread at the expense of Yaaser, who drops in class from a 2lb lower mark, having been below-par over 7f here last time out. Unexposed three-year-old Gracious Leader has scope for further progress and he merits respect on his first start for the George Boughey team.
Prediction : 1st Tele Red 2nd Yaaser 3rd Gracious Leader

Although WEISSMULLER has yet to open his account after four attempts, Archie Watson's gelding sets a lofty standard with an official rating of 92. His rivals need to improve on what they achieved on debut and this looks a gilt-edged opportunity. The main threat might come from Blue Pinatubo, who showed good early pace in a Glorious Goodwood maiden. Invitorio is the pick of the other two.
Prediction : 1st Weissmuller 2nd Blue Pinatubo 3rd Invitorio

A chance can be taken on SPIRIT OF ACKLAM, who has been given a bit of time off since disappointing in the London Gold Cup at Newbury in May. The son of Cracksman will find this assignment much more to his liking and with the likelihood of further progress, he can get back on track. Soowaih was narrowly denied at Hamilton recently and he remains of interest from an unchanged mark. Others to note include Pol Roger and Reyaadah Star.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Of Acklam 2nd Soowaih 3rd Pol Roger

JENNI gained her first career success over C&D on her latest outing and the daughter of Mehmas makes plenty of appeal in her bid to strike again off a 3lb higher mark. Danzan has to enter the reckoning based on his third in the Bronze Cup last time, while others for the shortlist include Red Mirage, who hit the frame at Chester in June, and Clasina.
Prediction : 1st Jenni 2nd Danzan 3rd Red Mirage

The drop to 7f is unlikely to be an inconvenience to Golden Valour, with the eight-year-old having been dropped 1lb for his recent fourth here, but the vote goes to SIR GARFIELD. Runner-up at the Western meeting just 12 days ago, that effort saw him bounce back after a rare blip at Catterick and his consistency can help him get his head back in front. John L Sullivan and San Isidro are more than capable of being in the mix too.
Prediction : 1st Sir Garfield 2nd Golden Valour 3rd John L Sullivan

A winner at Ripon in July, ACT OF VIOLENCE is still improving based on his second at Redcar a fortnight ago. Tim Easterby's inmate looks capable of scoring off his current figure on that evidence and is taken to confirm latest running with Rousing Encore, who has won off higher marks in the past and can have a say in proceedings once again. Veteran sprinter Muscika has been threatening a return to winning ways and has to be included in calculations.
Prediction : 1st Act Of Violence 2nd Rousing Encore 3rd Muscika

YURINOV was having only his fifth outing when finishing a creditable fourth over 1m6f at Nottingham in July. That form has worked out well, with the runner-up subsequently scoring three times, and this extra test of stamina will likely prompt further improvement. Musselburgh winner Trojan Sun ran well again when third at Chester and is another with plenty of scope. Ebony Maw will appreciate a return to a faster surface and is just preferred to Glasses Up of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Yurinov 2nd Trojan Sun 3rd Ebony Maw
