UK Horse Racing Tips: Ayr

BASSRAH has shaped as if she can win races and can put the experience of her three previous starts to good use, with this representing a drop in class. Perfect Heir and Zarak Crown are entitled to be wiser after their respective debuts, although both were well beaten and steps forward are required. With that in mind, Shared Odyssey, who is a half-brother to the Group-placed Sparkling Sea, won't need to be out of the ordinary to be the biggest danger.
Prediction : 1st Bassrah 2nd Shared Odyssey 3rd Perfect Heir

Jim Goldie saddles three in his bid to continue his recent domination of this contest - ORIENTAL PRINCE, who carries a 5lb penalty for winning at York, surprise Hamilton scorer Thistle Nil and Thunderstorm Katie. The first-named gets the vote as he drops in grade after that recent success. Great Profit is an improving type who ran with plenty of credit after a 7lb rise when third at Newcastle and is expected to be in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Oriental Prince 2nd Great Profit 3rd Thistle Nil

DARZAH has the potential for further improvement and gets the vote to gain a third career success. The manner of her recent second over a mile at Pontefract suggested she would have no problem stepping up in trip and William Haggas' filly can prove too strong for Valley Of Flowers, who drops in distance after her latest victory at Beverley. Krissy and Sweet Kiss head the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Darzah 2nd Valley Of Flowers 3rd Krissy

Dain Ma Nut In would have every chance of going close if repeating the level of his second at Thirsk, but TIERNAN is preferred. The four-year-old got off the mark at Hamilton at the start of last month and arrives following a brace of consistent handicap efforts over 1m4f. The drop back in trip shouldn't do him any harm after his second at Kempton. Galyx went up 5lb for his Beverley win and would appreciate any rain, while the consistent Impartiality heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Tiernan 2nd Galyx 3rd Dain Ma Nut In

TARMONBARRY KID is on an upward curve having won two of his last three outings and the Faheys' gelding, who seems to benefit from cut in the ground, can handle a 4lb rise for his most recent success at Beverley. Sanafi Zabeel caught the eye here over 7f prior to scoring at Hamilton and he is expected to bounce back from his subsequent defeat when sent off favourite at Carlisle. Others to consider are Second Fiddle and Havana Touch.
Prediction : 1st Tarmonbarry Kid 2nd Sanafi Zabeel 3rd Second Fiddle

Barley returned to winning ways at Carlisle last week and holds an obvious chance in his attempt to follow up, but the vote goes to STARLINER. Linda Perratt's gelding justified favouritism by half a length over this trip at Newcastle and as long as the five-year-old transfers that form back to turf, he will prove hard to beat. Trinculo is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Starliner 2nd Barley 3rd Trinculo

ICE CUBE wasn't able to supplement his Epsom success when finishing fourth over the same C&D, but that was still a creditable effort and he could bounce straight back. Vince Le Prince hasn't recorded a victory since 2024 but has dropped to an attractive mark for the Tim Easterby team, while Jkr Cobbler won over track and trip two starts ago and is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Ice Cube 2nd Vince Le Prince 3rd Jkr Cobbler

Elsass showed more when making the frame over 1m4f at Kempton earlier in the month and the extra furlong might bring about some improvement. Even so, SPIRIT OF ACKLAM looks the way to go. The son of Cracksman won at Hamilton in July when last seen over this trip and goes off the same rating. Golden West holds an obvious chance too.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Of Acklam 2nd Elsass 3rd Golden West
