UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

Having belied his odds of 100/1 when runner-up at Doncaster recently, Stoneacre Joe shouldn't be underestimated. Tim Easterby's charge is heading in the right direction and isn't taken lightly, but RAILWAYMAN may be open to more improvement. The Blue Point colt arrives on the back of a third-placed debut at Leicester and that experience should stand him in good stead. Mind Over Matter could also feature judged on the pick of his form.
Prediction : 1st Railwayman 2nd Stoneacre Joe 3rd Mind Over Matter

CANARIA QUEEN built on her sixth-placed return at Pontefract when landing the spoils in a 14-runner sprint at Doncaster 11 days ago. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings may prove to be lenient and she edges the vote over Little Mi Mi and Tommy McJohn in an open event. The former is feared most on the basis that she's been in good form on the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Canaria Queen 2nd Little Mi Mi 3rd Tommy McJohn

Ashen has posted two creditable efforts in defeat since returning from a 104-day absence and he's likely to prove popular given the question marks surrounding most of his rivals. However, it could be worth taking a punt on C&D winner COCONUT BAY, who has fallen down the ratings and may leave last month's eighth-placed seasonal bow at Catterick behind her. Jkr Cobbler is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Coconut Bay 2nd Ashen 3rd Jkr Cobbler

Irish raider LAND OF THE GIANTS is very interesting in here on the back of an improved effort at Cork 11 days ago. He kept on well inside the furlong that day when only going down by a neck into second and a press of the repeat button might be all he needs. Of the others, keep a close eye on course scorer Dingwall and the returning Uncle Liam.
Prediction : 1st Land Of The Giants 2nd Dingwall 3rd Uncle Liam

C&D winner Penelope's Sister must be taken seriously on her return to the fray, but David O'Meara boasts a strong hand in this and RAJAPOUR gets the nod ahead of his stable companion Donna Nook. The six-year-old bounced back to form when finishing a head second at Wetherby recently and he might not need to improve much on that in order to strike.
Prediction : 1st Rajapour 2nd Donna Nook 3rd Penelopes Sister

THE GAY BLADE is in really good nick at the moment and is hard to oppose. His solid all-weather form was transferred to the turf when he finished a neck second at Musselburgh last week and, assuming he'll cope with the quick turnaround, everything points to another bold showing. Summerstorms Dream is interesting on her seasonal bow and is noted along with Iris Dancer.
Prediction : 1st The Gay Blade 2nd Summerstorms Dream 3rd Iris Dancer

TUPERO wasn't at his best at Southwell last week but was in good form before that as he supplemented an all-weather success at Newcastle with a solid second-placed effort on the grass at Catterick. Stretching back out in trip, it could be worth giving this lightly-raced gelding another chance. Grey Fable and C&D winner Aighear are the ones expected to put up the most resistance.
Prediction : 1st Tupero 2nd Grey Fable 3rd Aighear
