UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

Velvet Rhythm is an interesting newcomer as a daughter of Awtaad, but this trip may be on the short side and she may do better over further later in the season. SPECIAL THANKS was sent off odds-on for her Carlisle debut before finishing third behind stablemate Aspiral, looking likely to learn plenty from the experience and she could make amends in this line-up. York fifth Douwantitrightnow might well improve enough to pick up the minor placing with that run under her belt.
Prediction : 1st Special Thanks 2nd Velvet Rhythm 3rd Douwantitrightnow

Hashtagnotions looks interesting having won twice over the mile at Newcastle and if cheekpieces have a positive effect he could surprise a few. UNTHINKABLE won last time out at Musselburgh after coming from off the pace and in receipt of 7lb as a three-year-old, he may be able to follow up under Joe Fanning. Woodrafff also won last time out, but that was on soft ground at Beverley and needs to show he can repeat that on a quicker surface.
Prediction : 1st Unthinkable 2nd Woodrafff 3rd Hashtagnotions

The connections of KEEP ME STABLE have decided to let her carry top-weight at this level after the five-year-old won a better race at Musselburgh to land her hat-trick. Upped 4lb for that, she might have another win in her at this level before being forced up in class. Breizh Sea is improving slowly with a third off this mark and he looks well handicapped after William Pyle's 3lb claim, while the consistent Highfield Viking appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Keep Me Stable 2nd Breizh Sea 3rd Highfield Viking

JANNAS JOURNEY completed the hat-trick over a mile at this track and is improving at a rapid rate of knots. Jim Goldie's filly's winning sequence might not be finished yet and she remains the one to beat. Call Me Betty failed to land a blow on her handicap bow at Doncaster last month, but she could put that effort behind her and have a say. Electric Lightning and Golden Valour appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Jannas Journey 2nd Call Me Betty 3rd Electric Lightning

Two-time C&D winner Yorkshire Lady continues to drop in the weights after being well beaten at Hamilton last time, but the return to this venue and a 2lb lower mark gives her every chance. Dawn Of Liberation finished four lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork at Ripon last week and is noted, but GLISTENING NIGHTS gets the nod. Richard Fahey's charge readily took care of his rivals in this class at Chester last time and will prove hard to beat, despite his 5lb penalty.
Prediction : 1st Glistening Nights 2nd Yorkshire Lady 3rd Dawn Of Liberation

GISELLES IZZY won over 7f here in June and remains in fine form on the evidence of her recent second over C&D. She scored at the track at this time last season and Iain Jardine's sprinter looks set to make another bold bid off a 10lb lower mark. Due Respect has improved for the application of a visor and won over 7f at Redcar last month, while I'm Spartacus is potentially well treated on his winning form on the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Giselles Izzy 2nd Due Respect 3rd Im Spartacus

Dwindling Funds looks vulnerable off his new mark as he bids for a hat-trick. He won over C&D in July with ZEBRA STAR back in third, but the latter reopposes on much more favourable terms today and the daughter of Gregorian is taken to turn the tables. Elizabeth's Legacy has a bit to find with the selection, but first-time cheekpieces may bring improvement and she could launch a stronger challenge on this occasion.
Prediction : 1st Zebra Star 2nd Dwindling Funds 3rd Elizabeths Legacy
