UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

Following a weakening fourth over seven furlongs at Musselburgh latest, Panthere Noir could go well dropping in trip, but the one who caught the eye on debut was BYE LAW. Slowly away at Pontefract and outpaced, he ran on well into fourth once the penny dropped and could be a different proposition now. Beverley fifth Ishimentor is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Bye Law 2nd Panthere Noir 3rd Ishimentor

Trainer Iain Jardine clearly knows the sort needed to win this having been successful in three of the four runnings and he relies on Zaphea here, though she will need to step up on her latest Musselburgh effort. Ganesha warrants respect, but SIXCOR gets the vote. Three times a C&D winner, twice off higher marks, he races off 1lb lower than his recent Musselburgh third and boasts every chance.
Prediction : 1st Sixcor 2nd Zaphea 3rd Ganesha

Glasses Up loves it here with 11 wins and, although he is now a 10-year-old, he won off his current mark over C&D in May and is hard to ignore. Whatacracker is admirably consistent and must enter calculations, but OBITO could be the one. Upped in trip after his York fourth, he gets a three-year-old allowance which has to be in his favour.
Prediction : 1st Obito 2nd Glasses Up 3rd Whatacracker

Thunderstorm Katie struck over track and trip on her latest outing and is just 2lb higher, so she has to be taken seriously. Mersea justified short odds to score at Musselburgh last time and is noted, but ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR gets the vote. The four-year-old only found one too good at Thirsk last month and now sports first-time blinkers, which may eke out the improvement required.
Prediction : 1st Annie Edson Taylor 2nd Thunderstorm Katie 3rd Mersea

The hat-trick seeking Boy Douglas is likely to have his supporters after his success over 7f here latest, but the vote goes to EMPIRESTATEOFMIND. The seven-year-old finished a respectable third at Chester six days ago and made the frame in this grade at Hamilton prior to that. He lurks on an appealing mark and can get back to winning ways. Two B Tanned completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Empirestateofmind 2nd Boy Douglas 3rd Two B Tanned

With a record of two wins from four starts at this track, AL MUQDAD should appreciate the return to Scotland and being dropped 1lb for a creditable fourth at Doncaster last month could prove lenient. David O'Meara's charge gets the vote ahead of the capable Native Honey, and Keep Warm, who has been knocking on the door of late. John L Sullivan is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Al Muqdad 2nd Native Honey 3rd Keep Warm

Runner-up on each of her last two starts, including when narrowly denied at Newcastle last week, SASSY GLORY deserves a change in luck and this represents an ideal opportunity to strike. Satyress wasn't disgraced when fourth on her handicap debut at Nottingham last time out and must enter calculations, along with Dazzling Spirit, who is an intriguing contender sent over from Ireland.
Prediction : 1st Sassy Glory 2nd Dazzling Spirit 3rd Satyress
