UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

Redline made a winning debut at Carlisle and the manner of that victory suggested an extra furlong wouldn't be an inconvenience to Charlie Johnston's filly. Don't Stop Movin is likely to be in the mix following his runner-up effort at Redcar in May, but the vote goes to TEN CLARETS. Karl Burke's colt shaped with promise when fourth at York and the form has since been boosted by the second going one better.
Prediction : 1st Ten Clarets 2nd Redline 3rd Dont Stop Movin

A wind operation and a first-time tongue-tie may see an upturn in fortune for Hill O Rue after disappointing on both starts in 2026. Naturalia has been knocking hard on the door with a trio of runner-up efforts and she is expected to be competitive once again. However, the vote goes to RUMBUSTIOUS. The son of Dubawi appears likely to benefit from a drop back in trip based on his last couple of starts and he may be able to take advantage of the weight-for-age allowance.
Prediction : 1st Rumbustious 2nd Hill O Rue 3rd Naturalia

ASHEN won over C&D before finishing third back here on softer ground and a quicker surface on this occasion can help Jim Goldie's gelding to bounce back to winning ways. Slack Bob boasts a consistent level of form and may appreciate the drop from a mile following his third at Newbury. Others for the shortlist include Blakefell and Emery Down.
Prediction : 1st Ashen 2nd Slack Bob 3rd Blakefell

Hunterian supplemented two creditable efforts in defeat with a triumph over C&D. Charlie Johnston's colt must enter calculations off 3lb higher, but EY UP HE'S A STAR is slightly more compelling. The four-year-old travelled with more verve in first-time cheekpieces when finishing third in an 18-runner affair at Doncaster and, off an unchanged mark, he may prove to be better treated. Flying Moonlight is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Ey Up Hes A Star 2nd Hunterian 3rd Flying Moonlight

Iain Jardine boasts an impressive strike-rate at present and PARISIAC holds leading claims. The seven-year-old has done little wrong in two defeats since scoring at Hamilton and a 1lb nudge up the ratings for his latest second over C&D is workable. Tip Foster came good at the second time of asking at Thirsk and he's open to improvement on his handicap bow, while York runner-up Woven makes most appeal of those drawn high.
Prediction : 1st Parisiac 2nd Tip Foster 3rd Woven

Several of these have been knocking on the door lately and cases can be stated for the likes of Ellie's De Vega, Maynora and White Ladder, who have all shown enough to suggest they can exploit the 6lb weight-for-age allowance. However, KEEP THE GOLD isn't quite fully exposed in handicaps and stepping back up to 6f could be a good move now he's become accustomed to racing with headgear added.
Prediction : 1st Keep The Gold 2nd Ellies De Vega 3rd Maynora

IS SHE NOW made a winning debut for Daragh Bourke when she cosily landed a classified event over C&D before successfully revering to handicap company at Musselburgh last week. Turned out quickly under a 4lb penalty, this much-improved mare is hard to oppose. Newcastle winner Elemental Eye and the reliable La Tosca are other key players, while three-time track-and-trip winner Annandale is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Is She Now 2nd Elemental Eye 3rd La Tosca
