UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

A promising second on debut at Hamilton despite being slowly away, MR COLONEL should have plenty of improvement forthcoming and can go one better. Sea The Power has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his debut effort at Beverley, while Gaelic Approach, a son of Masar, looks to be the pick of the newcomers for Charlie Johnston.
Prediction : 1st Mr Colonel 2nd Sea The Power 3rd Gaelic Approach

The key to this contest could be the recent clash over C&D between HARB (first) and Royal Duke (second), who has since won at Musselburgh, with the former taken to uphold that form. A consistent pair of late for trainer Tim Easterby, Happier and Vince L'Amour are capable of being in the shake-up, as well as unexposed handicap debutant Your Love.
Prediction : 1st Harb 2nd Royal Duke 3rd Vince LAmour

A determined winner of a valuable handicap at York's Ebor Festival when last seen, DAIN MA NUT IN sets the standard on recent form and a 3lb rise for that success could prove lenient as he looks to land the hat-trick. Narrowly denied over further at Doncaster last week, Crowd Quake is likely to have a major say again, while Cloth Of Gold is a handicap debutant to note.
Prediction : 1st Dain Ma Nut In 2nd Crowd Quake 3rd Cloth Of Gold

Things didn't go to plan in the Galtres at York recently, but AEOLIAN's earlier Newmarket success has worked out well. Pitched into a handicap for the first time, the daughter of Fastnet Rock is expected to bounce back. Brielle had to settle for third when sent off joint-favourite at Leicester last week, but is good enough to get involved. Recent Southwell runner-up Donna Nook is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Aeolian 2nd Brielle 3rd Donna Nook

It looks best to side with THE CHILDE OF HALE, who has been freshened up since his win at Doncaster in July. Ivan Furtado's three-year-old was only raised 4lb for that success and the step up in trip promises to suit. Veteran Jewel Maker arrives in good form and must be taken seriously, along with Pol Roger who, although not the most consistent, did strike the woodwork here last month.
Prediction : 1st The Childe Of Hale 2nd Jewel Maker 3rd Pol Roger

REDARNA hasn't been the most consistent this season but Dianne Sayer's 11-year-old often does well at this time of year. His best effort this campaign came with some cut in the ground at Carlisle and he is potentially the value play from 11lb below his last winning mark. Coeur Jaune's hat-trick bid fell flat at Doncaster latest but she remains of interest, as does Quiet Resolve, who hit the frame in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster on Sunday.
Prediction : 1st Redarna 2nd Coeur Jaune 3rd Quiet Resolve

MINSHAAR found herself trapped on the rail for the last couple of furlongs at Haydock on her handicap debut. She finished full of running in fourth and, with a 5lb claimer in the plate helping her cause, Richard Fahey's unexposed filly looks potentially well treated. Who Wants Me bounced back with a third at Thirsk on her first start after wind surgery and could feature, along with We've Got This and Dwindling Funds.
Prediction : 1st Minshaar 2nd Who Wants Me 3rd Weve Got This

SPINNING WHEEL was set a stiff task in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot in June. This could prove more his level for now and, with this softer surface and shorter trip likely to suit, the son of Postponed gets another chance on his handicap bow. Newbury winner Golden Handshake is another looking to get back on track after disappointing at York last time, while Surrey Belle could also go well.
Prediction : 1st Spinning Wheel 2nd Golden Handshake 3rd Surrey Belle
