UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

CAMP BELAN conceded plenty of weight to runner-up Heritier De Sivola when victorious over this C&D last season and could well stage a repeat despite running off 8lb higher. His old rival did manage to narrowly turn things around when they subsequently clashed at Hexham in March and he's dangerous to underestimate. However, fellow course winner Destiny Is All may pose a bigger threat running off 3lb below his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Camp Belan 2nd Destiny Is All 3rd Heritier De Sivola

COUNTRY MILE emerged an impressive winner of a bumper at Huntingdon on his debut under Rules in April and is sure to be primed to perfection running for a high profile yard on his hurdles debut. Young Getaway and Holly Bird have also shown some promise in bumpers and warrant close inspection in the betting. Point-to-point recruits Walking On A Dream and Gone With The Tide add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Country Mile 2nd Young Getaway 3rd Holly Bird

NOT IN KANSAS goes well fresh and, having created a deep impression when wining a conditional riders' race at Perth under Bruce Lynn back in May, the daughter of Gentlewave could be tough to deal with on her return from a break. Fellow last-time-out winners Magical Arthur and Topkapi Star also command respect, while the hat-trick seeking Hapy La Vie is still on an upward trajectory and is interesting back over timber.
Prediction : 1st Not In Kansas 2nd Magical Arthur 3rd Topkapi Star

CALDWELL has been very reliable in all disciplines from the summer onwards and made a successful beginning to his chasing career at Hexham. Back over the smaller obstacles, he is just 1lb higher, with the extra half-mile fancied to bring him forward even further. Rickety Gate showed the benefit of a break when justifying favouritism at Kelso and looks dangerous. Grass's Jet was well fancied on his debut for this yard at Bangor and although disappointing, it is too soon to give up on him.
Prediction : 1st Caldwell 2nd Rickety Gate 3rd Grasss Jet

Bridge Road has been edging closer to the winner's enclosure, although his strike-rate is moderate and a 1lb rise for his Uttoxeter second does him no favours. Love That and March Wind ran respectably on the same Perth card back in May, while Celestial Fashion's best form puts her in with a shout, but a chance is taken on ENTITY OF SUBSTANZ. Dan Skelton's five-year-old is related to some smart performers and an initial mark of 96 is there to be exploited.
Prediction : 1st Entity Of Substanz 2nd Bridge Road 3rd Celestial Fashion

A winner at Uttoxeter on his seasonal return recently, there should be more to come from HOME FREE and Dan Skelton's gelding is taken to defy a 4lb rise in the handicap en route to further success. An ease in grade will do no harm to the chances of Carcaci Castle, who looks the main danger, while Travail D'Orfevre, an admirably consistent type over fences, could have a say too.
Prediction : 1st Home Free 2nd Carcaci Castle 3rd Travail DOrfevre

Olly Murphy has an excellent record in these types of contests so Dinofromberlais, who showed only moderate form in the pointing sphere, could well step forward on this Rules debut. However, the vote goes to DALSTON LAD. The Ocovango gelding fetched 115,000 euros at the sales in May and the half-brother to useful performer Gone Platinum looks sure to go well at the first time of asking under Rules. Stride On is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Dalston Lad 2nd Dinofromberlais 3rd Stride On
