UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

Ideal De Romay produced a better effort to fill the runner-up spot over fences at Newcastle and should go well, but he will need to transfer that form to this sphere. REAGROVE LORD had Teddy Mac (fifth) behind when making the frame in this grade at Hexham on his most recent start and the handicapper might have been kind to leave his mark alone. If he can run to a similar level, he could be the one to beat. Boolamore Classic completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Reagrove Lord 2nd Ideal De Romay 3rd Boolamore Classic

Reflection Of You beat Royal Creek (sixth) when third at Kelso and is expected to confirm her authority over that rival to go close. However, it might prove significant that Derek Fox is booked for her stablemate GOLDEN POINT. Lucinda Russell's six-year-old took a step forward from her first start over hurdles to make the frame at Carlisle and she could find the improvement required to get off the mark. Any market support behind Just Her Type would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Golden Point 2nd Reflection Of You 3rd Just Her Type

Montregard ran in snatches when failing to justify favouritism by only finishing third at Taunton, but he could be seen in a better light off a 1lb lower rating. However, it may pay to side with TRAVAIL D'ORFEVRE, who made the frame in the Borders National at Kelso and has been dropped 1lb. The shorter trip shouldn't pose him any problems and he can get his head back in front. Shighness completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Travail DOrfevre 2nd Montregard 3rd Shighness

Now that the penny has dropped for TOMMY COMBATS after a relatively comfortable breakthrough success at Hexham, the Martin Todhunter-trained six-year-old is likely to have plenty more to come off 5lb higher. He can uphold form with Raffles Wonder (third) and Heeztheboy (fourth) from that contest, with Flash Du Pistolet another to consider now that he drops back in distance.
Prediction : 1st Tommy Combats 2nd Raffles Wonder 3rd Flash Du Pistolet

Turned out again quickly after an easy success on his handicap hurdle debut at Catterick last week, MAGHLAAK looks more than capable of following up under a 7lb penalty for his in-form connections. That may be at the main expense of Yorkshire Lady, who should come on plenty for just her second start over timber at Wetherby. Placed on each of his three starts since joining George Bewley, Rock On Jet is expected to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Maghlaak 2nd Rock On Jet 3rd Yorkshire Lady

A promising third when going from the front and only headed inside the final furlong at Musselburgh, KEVLAR is entitled to improve plenty for the experience and he can strike with Brian Hughes taking over in the saddle. A well-related sort by Champs Elysees for a leading owner, Auchinlek is a newcomer to note, as is Baratablet, who has a decent NH pedigree. The Lucinda Russell yard is in fine form, and Kelvin Forlonge wasn't disgraced on debut at Hexham.
Prediction : 1st Kevlar 2nd Auchinlek 3rd Baratablet
