14:20 Ayr Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A case can be made for several of these, including the unraced Individualism. A half-brother to the 2021 Gold Cup hero Subjectivist and Group 1-placed Sir Ron Priestley, Charlie Johnston's inmate would be foolish to dismiss. However, DARK ENCOUNTER can put his racecourse experience to good use and looks the one to beat following a staying-on second over 6f at Redcar last month. Cerulean Bay kept on well to score at Hamilton on his racecourse debut last month and is feared most under a 7lb penalty.

CERULEAN BAY will need to improve to defy a penalty and supplement his Hamilton win but 7f is sure to bring out more so a bigger performance is firmly on the cards. Land Lover sets the standard but will likely find one or two too good again, while market support for Individualism on debut would look significant.

On breeding DARK ENCOUNTER should enjoy the step up to 7f after his promising Redcar debut. The yard continues to roll out 2yo winners.

14:55 Ayr Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Call Me Ginger has stepped forward with each run this season and the seven-year-old makes plenty of appeal in his attempt for a third victory over course and distance. Walking On Clouds scored here on his penultimate start and warrants plenty of respect back at this level, having finished third in a stronger contest at Hamilton last time, but the vote goes to MONSIEUR KODI. Richard Fahey's gelding returned to winning ways at Thirsk when last seen and a 3lb rise is unlikely to stop him from progressing further.

MANILA SCOUSE has been knocking on the door this year and this might be the day he strikes. Monsieur Kodi is another who arrives on the back of a series of good efforts and heads the dangers along with Walking On Clouds, a C&D winner on his penultimate start, and Woven.

The vote goes to the unexposed MANILA SCOUSE who won't mind if the ground remains on the soft side and may yet have more to offer.

15:30 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Berry Edge followed his half-length second over course and distance with a near-miss at Beverley off this mark and another bold bid is expected. However, the top-weight may have to play second fiddle again, this time to HAVANA PARTY, who scored over this track and trip in style before going close to defying a 5lb rise over 1m1f at Hamilton last time. He likes it here and should appreciate the return to 1m2f. Broctune Red is feasibly treated on his early-season form, while Cosa Sara is interesting now upped in distance.

With blinkers applied, BERRY EDGE continued in good heart when runner-up at Beverley last month and he could be ready to return to winning ways. Broctune Red had also been running well prior to a below-par effort last time, so it would be no surprise to see him bounce back given his previous form, while Cosa Sara also merits consideration.

It may be worth taking a chance with FLYING MOON who is 4lb lower than when winning this race last year.

16:05 Ayr Handicap (Class 3) 13f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Not beaten far on his last two starts over further, ALPINE STROLL should be well suited by the slight drop in trip and he can gain a first win since last August. Ed De Giles' charge is narrowly preferred to C&D winner Ravenscraig Castle and La Pulga, who won on his only go at this trip in June. Geremia is another consistent sort at this level and he must enter calculations.

A tricky contest to unravel despite the small field but preference is for RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE, who hasn't won for almost 2 years but signalled his turn could be imminent when runner-up at Carlisle 12 days ago. A first-time visor goes on and he can get the better of Alpine Stroll, who is at the top of his game but may have to settle for a third consecutive silver medal placing. La Pulga is another certainly not out of things.

Tim Easterby's ZIMMERMAN edges preference as he looked in good order prior to his excusable defeat at Ripon.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

There could be more to come from Bay Of Hope after he got off the mark over this trip at Redcar, but he has no margin for error off a 6lb higher mark and preference is for JUDGMENT CALL. A winner over course and distance in May, he ran well in defeat at York last month after a slow start and should relish a return to a venue he likes. Deputy contends on the form of his one-length second off 1lb lower at Doncaster last time, while Cold Stare continues to run well in defeat and a return to 7f may help.

DEPUTY was progressive towards the end of last season and is fancied to build on a really encouraging effort at Doncaster when last seen in May. Judgment Call was forced to adopt different tactics after a slow start at York last time but shaped well on balance and has winning C&D form so makes the shortlist, alongside the potentially well-treated Golden Apollo and unexposed Redcar winner Bay of Hope.

The choice is COLD STARE who has been consistent since returning and the return to 7f looks to be a plus.

17:15 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

THE CALTONIAN improved beyond all recognition when runner-up over C&D on his handicap debut last month and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for him to go one better. Joe Fanning taking over in the saddle can only aid his cause and he may have too much for the relatively consistent Caribbean Sunset and Kraken Power, who wasn't beaten far over C&D in May. Flavius Titus and Wrecked It Ralph are also capable of being in the shake-up.

THE CALTONIAN is lightly raced and took a step forward despite displaying signs of lingering greenness when second over C&D last time, so he takes preference over the in-form Kraken Power, who was also placed here last time. Caribbean Sunset can't be discounted.

This can go to THE CALTONIAN (nap) following his narrow defeat by an in-form rival on handicap debut over C&D 16 days ago.

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.

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.
