UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

The rejuvenated CISCO DISCO has won three of his last four starts at this venue. He stayed on in determined fashion to win a shade cosily on his latest outing and is taken to defy a 4lb penalty. Tee Aitch Aye opened his account on soft ground at Hamilton and merits serious consideration given the runner-up has subsequently landed a double, while Pol Roger may prove a bigger threat than Tafsir back over this longer trip.
Prediction : 1st Cisco Disco 2nd Tee Aitch Aye 3rd Tafsir

NORTHERN BRAVE finished a promising third over C&D on last month's debut. Michael Dods' son of Gleneagles will have learn plenty for that experience and a bold bid is anticipated if coping with the testing underfoot conditions. Wave Power took a step forward when fourth on soft going at Hamilton and he rates the main danger, given Gaelic Approach has plenty to find with the selection and Naughty Boy was well beaten on debut.
Prediction : 1st Northern Brave 2nd Wave Power 3rd Gaelic Approach

AHAMOMENT makes most appeal of the four recent winners. He bolted up on soft ground at Musselburgh last week and, given he's due to be raised by 6lb more than today's penalty in the future, the six-year-old can strike again while the iron is hot. Jkr Cobbler resumed winning ways over C&D on his latest start and should be thereabouts at the finish once again. He's preferred to Catterick winner Edgewater Drive, who steps up in trip for this.
Prediction : 1st Ahamoment 2nd Jkr Cobbler 3rd Edgewater Drive

In an open contest it might pay to rely on LORD BERTIE, who ran his best race of the season when second over C&D last month. Due to go up 1lb for future races, two of his three career victories have been on soft ground and with a second on heavy going at Haydock, this ground may play to his strengths. Kelpie Grey could also go well dropping back in trip in these conditions, while Hour By Hour has a decent strike rate on this ground.
Prediction : 1st Lord Bertie 2nd Kelpie Grey 3rd Hour By Hour

Dwindling Funds looks for his fourth win of the year at the track after making all over a mile last month. The four-year-old is due to go up 3lb in future and is expected to have a big say, but EY UP ITS JAZZ has won two of his last four starts and is at his best with plenty of cut in the ground. He is marginally preferred, leaving top-weight Kindest Nation to try to run them down late on.
Prediction : 1st Ey Up Its Jazz 2nd Dwindling Funds 3rd Kindest Nation

OBEE JO showed a lot more when taking the silver medal home at Hamilton on his most recent outing and is just 1lb higher. Tim Easterby's charge might only need to repeat that level of performance in order to go one better. Last year's winner Shine On Brendan finished third behind a subsequent winner at the same track last time and has to be considered. The hat-trick seeking Falcon Nine's chance is there for all to see.
Prediction : 1st Obee Jo 2nd Shine On Brendan 3rd Falcon Nine

AIGHEAR went in by three lengths over 1m7f at this venue last month and now has a 4lb penalty. Jim Goldie's seven-year-old shouldn't have any issues with this drop in distance and can complete a double. Velvet Vulcan failed to supplement his Lingfield success when only fifth at the same track last time, but is an interesting contender on his first start for the R Mike Smith yard. Of the remainder, Amalfina makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Aighear 2nd Velvet Vulcan 3rd Amalfina
