13:00 Ayr Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

AYIKO split a talented pair trained by Willie Mullins when finishing second over 2m7f at Fairyhouse last month and a repeat of that form may well be good enough to see him go one better here. That said, Jo Coko displayed plenty of promise when also filling the runner-up spot on his Rules debut and he could give the selection plenty to think about. Others to note are Knightphase, Tommys Law and Orkney Blue.

AYIKO is going the right way as a hurdler and a reproduction of the form shown on his latest start could be enough to see him open his account in this sphere. This is a deeper maiden that tends to be the case for the track however, and both Jo Coko and Orkney Blue are interesting rivals.

In a competitive maiden hurdle a chance is taken on the progressive ORKNEY BLUE getting off the mark on his first try at 3m.

LIZZIE LUNA took a big step forwards when second over C&D earlier in the month and the daughter of Telescope has to be of interest on the back of that performance. My Kiwi Girl was well held when third in Listed company at Haydock last time but she should not be underestimated in this company, while That'll Do Moss edges out Audacious Annie to be best of the rest.

AUDACIOUS ANNIE had just got herself into contention when a bad error knocked the stuffing out of her on her hurdling debut at Ffos Las last month and, open to plenty of improvement providing she cuts out the mistakes, she's taken to make it second time lucky in this sphere. My Kiwi Girl and That'll Do Moss are a couple of obvious threats.

Jame Snowden's AUDACIOUS ANNIE shaped well when second at Ffos Las on her hurdling debut and is taken to build on that and go one better

Most of these have questions to answer, but not CHAPEL GREEN following his impressive success over 2m at Musselburgh in November. A 6lb rise for that win appears to be fair and the eight-year-old tops the shortlist. The main threat is likely to be Cold Sobar, who was not disgraced on his return from a lengthy break at Carlisle last month. Fia Fuinidh failed to fire last time but is a player based on his previous form.

COLD SOBAR is seemingly hard to train, yet he produced a promising first effort in this sphere on the back of a lengthy absence when third at Carlisle 37 days ago and, with progress anticipated, he's selected to build on that run here. Musselburgh scorer Chapel Green and Dunnet Head are fancied to pose the chief threats.

A chance is taken on LIVELY CITIZEN who has his ideal conditions and looked unlucky the last time he ran over fences.

CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES got up in the nick of time over an extended 2m3f at Wetherby on Boxing Day, and there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful that he can follow up. The unexposed six-year-old was making his handicap debut that day and although a subsequent 5lb rise might seem harsh, he can progress further now upped significantly in trip. Gaillimh A Stor was desperately unlucky when narrowly denied over C&D from 3lb lower earlier this month and he merits respect, along with Lady In The Park.

Plenty in with a chance here and it might pay to side with CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES, the youngest and least exposed of these who is now tackling staying trips for the first time having scored on handicap debut last month. Guernsey ran well in a higher grade last time and has solid claims, while Lady In The Park should not be discounted having returned to form over hurdles. Buy Some Time deserves an honourable mention on his return from an absence, and he's one to keep an eye on in the market.

It's hard to go against Mark Walford's improving CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES (nap) who can take another step forward now his stamina is drawn out

HASHTAG BOUM made it two wins from three over the larger obstacles when on target over this C&D recently and despite being 2lb out of the handicap today, Ruth Jefferson's charge can continue on her upward trajectory. A return to handicaps should benefit El Elefante, though, and she merits respect along with top-weight Duffle Coat. Lunar Discovery will need to find more if she's to upset the apple cart.

Though EL ELEFANTE has failed to go on from her winning chase debut in two subsequent appearances, it would be no surprise whatsoever to see her get back on track now that her sights are lowered. Indeed, she has contested listed events the last twice and this company is not so taxing. Irish raider Duffle Coat will be a big threat, despite conceding lumps of weight all round, if close to his best following a break, while Hashtag Boum has taken really well to fences and she has to be feared, too.

In a tricky race, the class act DUFFLE COAT is taken to win despite reservations about him being at his best on the soft ground.

TIMMY TUESDAY was second to a potentially smart Willie Mullins-trained improver at Limerick last month and, although well held by that rival, it was still an encouraging enough effort to suggest he can take the lead role here. I Wish You, who won a novices' hurdle at Carlisle on his penultimate start, is weighted to have an impact on just his second start in a handicap. Ruby Island is a previous course winner who looks worth another try over this sort of trip.

FOLLOW CHARLIE needs to dispel a lesser effort at Kelso but a return to this venue (both wins gained over C&D) rates an obvious plus with the cheekpieces now reached for and he's given a chance to bounce back. Ruby Island promises to be suited by the step back up in trip and she's feared. Gordon Elliott's Timmy Tuesday on handicap debut is another to note.

The enigmatic TIMMY TUESDAY has yet to win a race but he is capable on his day and looks well treated on his handicap debut.

CABALLO DE GUERRA was a promising third on debut in a similar event at Wetherby last month and, given he was the market leader on that occasion, similar betting support for the four-year-old would be highly tempting now he has racecourse experience under his belt. The selection's stable companions, Triple Crown Ted and Kanitamay, bolster a potentially strong hand for Lucinda Russell. However, They're Chancers, who cost 70,000 euros as a three-year-old, and the well-bred Count Adhemar tick the right boxes on paper and rate the most intriguing of the debutants.

CABALLO DE GUERRA travelled well for a long way when an encouraging third at Wetherby on debut and, with an experience edge over most, he's fancied to open his account at the second attempt. They're Chancers and Count Adhemar are both notable newcomers for well-respected stables.

Lucinda Russell's CABALLO DE GUERRA made a promising start when third at Wetherby and looks the way to go with improvement on the cards

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
