UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

BEECHWOOD GLORY improved from his first to second run when hitting the frame at Chepstow and, if building on that third-placed effort, the Cotai Glory colt might take a bit of beating. Mick's The Boy disappointed favourite-backers at Catterick but is a player on his previous Thirsk second, while Ponte Carlo is another to bear in mind. Of the newcomers, it will be interesting to see what the market makes of Lone Striker.
Prediction : 1st Beechwood Glory 2nd Micks The Boy 3rd Ponte Carlo

Harry Mole has been knocking hard on the door of late and wouldn't be winning out of turn, but it might be another supporting role for Steph Hollinshead's charge if KING OF THE JUNGLE arrives in the same form as when posting smooth triumphs both here and at Beverley. The hat-trick beckons for this in-form gelding. Startling is another to note in first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st King Of The Jungle 2nd Harry Mole 3rd Startling

TIGER has to shoulder a 5lb penalty but was really impressive when winning at Chester last Sunday and ought to take some stopping again assuming he arrives in similar form and this doesn't come too soon. Unchartedterritory and Faeberon also arrive on the back of victories and the unexposed three-year-olds, who represent top yards, could give Ian Williams' charge a race.
Prediction : 1st Tiger 2nd Unchartedterritory 3rd Faeberon

Hale End arrives in good form after winning over C&D last month but an added 5lb looks harsh and he will need to find more. Theoryofeverything drops to this class for the first time after his eighth here in July and is well-handicapped if he can be brought back to his peak, but JANNAS JOURNEY gets the nod. Five wins from eight starts here, the latest off 2lb lower last September, brings her right into the equation and she gets on well with jockey Lauren Young.
Prediction : 1st Jannas Journey 2nd Hale End 3rd Theoryofeverything

MR COOL produced a smooth win over course and distance last month and although upped 4lb for that success, he may have one more win in this class to come before being forced into better races. Thunderstorm Katie usually runs well here but may have to settle for a place until she comes further down the handicap. Annie Edson Taylor might prove to be the bigger danger dropping back down in grade.
Prediction : 1st Mr Cool 2nd Annie Edson Taylor 3rd Thunderstorm Katie

Circle Of Trust led early when scoring on soft going here in June, while Runninsonofagun made all over a mile at the track last month and has placed in both subsequent starts. However, a strong pace should set the race up nicely for YAASER. He finished a highly-creditable third at Hamilton a week ago, considering he was very slowly away, and this looks a good opportunity for Jim Goldie's four-time course winner to take advantage of his potentially lenient mark.
Prediction : 1st Yaaser 2nd Circle Of Trust 3rd Runninsonofagun

WICKLOW WAY romped home by over four lengths in a classified contest at Newcastle last week. Mark Walford's charge looks worth sticking with at this level back on turf and could prove tough to beat. Charencey has gone close in similar contests on his last couple of outings and has to be included in calculations, while the unexposed Flying Moonlight could have more to offer as he steps up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Wicklow Way 2nd Charencey 3rd Flying Moonlight
