The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Dual course winner Judgment Call appears to have been laid out for this and is sure to have his supporters, but a chance is taken on REVICH. The Richard Spencer-trained gelding won this race two years ago and was narrowly beaten in third off this same mark last year, so makes plenty of appeal after confirming his well-being when third at Chester earlier this month. Isla Kai was a cosy winner at Ripon last month and although a 4lb rise makes life more difficult, he should still be thereabouts.

TITAN ROCK left behind a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up at Thirsk last time and, having won at this meeting back in 2021, he remains well treated on old form. The 5-y-o can build on his latest run to record a second victory of the season, though Revich is respected as he bids for a second success in this race. Isla Kai also merits consideration.

The admirable REVICH won this race in 2021 and was a close third last year. He earns the vote on the back of a good third at Chester.

With the notable omission of William Haggas' My Prospero, ROYAL RHYME can cash in and make his mark at this level. The son of Lope De Vega turned a warm handicap into a procession at Goodwood last month, as he scooted clear on rain-softened ground. Pride Of America is 2lb clear on official ratings, but having to concede 5lb to the former might be a tough ask. Luckin Brew's reappearance has twice been delayed this season, having been withdrawn in both the Cheshire Oaks and Ribblesdale, but she is an interesting candidate if taking her chance.

PRIDE OF AMERICA has been in excellent form in handicaps and is the clear form pick now tackling listed company. Royal Rhyme has a bit to find with the selection but he's progressive and respected, while Luckin Brew has been placed at this level, and is lightly raced, but she's been off 11 months.

The ease with which ROYAL RHYME won a 15-runner Glorious Goodwood handicap last time suggests he can cope with this step up in class.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

In another wide-open renewal, a chance can be taken on WOVEN, who was runner-up in this race last year off 4lb lower. The seven-year-old has competed over 7f the last twice and he now returns to this sprinting distance, which could spark him back to form in order to go close. Call Me Ginger has won two out of his last three starts and, in his current form, he is difficult to dismiss. Others to note are Bernardo O'Reilly and the hat-trick seeking Rathbone.

APLOMB is fresher than most entering this stage of the season and, having produced two eye-catching efforts since returning from a break last month, he makes plenty of appeal off a good mark and with conditions to suit. Jump The Gun, who was just ahead of Aplomb in this race last year, looks set for another bold show after returning to form at Doncaster where he was just touched off by the re-opposing Rathbone. Iain Jardine's charge is feared most ahead of Gulliver and Wobwobwob.

This should be a thorough test at the trip which will suit WOBWOBWOB who stays further but ran so well back over 6f in August.

Raqiya has shown Group-race potential in registering bloodless victories at Salisbury and Haydock, but PRETTY CRYSTAL has the required form in the book at this level. Since making a successful start to her career at Ripon, the daughter of Dubawi has acquitted herself really well in three Group 3 contests and she can give Richard Fahey his third victory in this race in the past four renewals. Dorothy Lawrence proved her Lowther fourth was no fluke when pipped in the Dick Poole, while Navassa Island is the pick of the Irish raiders.

RAQIYA could be the potential class act here after impressive wins at Salisbury and Haydock and she can come out on top. Pretty Crystal has been holding her own in top fillies' contests and is one to note for Richard Fahey, who has won 2 of the last 3 runnings of this. Exponista could outrun big odds.

Dorothy Lawrence sets a good form standard but RAQIYA is an exciting prospect having posted easy novice wins the last twice.

SIGNIFICANTLY confirmed his well-being when a short-head second in the Portland at Doncaster a week ago. Off the same mark here, the five-year-old could go one better with the benefit of an extra half a furlong. Orazio failed to fire on the heavy going in the Stewards' Cup last time but is a big player based on his promising effort in the Wokingham the time before. Magical Spirit won the Silver Cup here in 2020 and it would be no surprise to see him make the frame now back at this venue, while Aleezdancer is another to note following an eye-catching effort in the Stewards' Cup on his most recent outing. The shortlist is completed by the previous winners Bielsa and Summerghand.

A superb renewal of the Ayr Gold Cup and once more it could go the way of David O'Meara's most likeable veteran SUMMERGHAND who shows absolutely no signs of slowing down at the age of nine and can swoop late to repeat his fine 2022 victory. Significantly just failed in Doncaster's Portland and seems sure to be in the mix once more along with last year's third Juan Les Pins. Orazio remains with potential and also can't be ruled out. Bielsa, Northern Express and Ramazan complete the shortlist.

The Stewards' offers hope that ALEEZDANCER (nap) has one of these big sprints in him. Juan Les Pins has a major chance if he runs.

CITY BURGLAR arrives here on the back of a third-placed finish in a competitive novice event at Salisbury earlier in the month. That performance, as well as his second at Newbury the time before, suggests that the son of Cracksman could be hard to stop on his nursery bow. The in-form Making Dreams should not be underestimated, while Mister Daydream and Sailthisshipalone complete the shortlist.

Richard Fahey has saddled the winner of this several times in the past and SAILTHISSHIPALONE could be another for the yard. He has improved with each of his three starts to date, off the mark in a 7f Thirsk novice last time, and this step up in trip now handicapping promises to help unlock further improvement. Stablemate Gamraan will be a big threat if reproducing the form of his Glorious Goodwood effort, while City Burglar and Making Dreams are also accorded respect.

The progressive filly MAKING DREAMS is taken to post her third nursery win. Topweight City Burglar is feared most.

A winner of his last two starts here, including an impressive success over C&D in July, GAINSBOURG must hold every chance of continuing his excellent course form. Daragh Bourke's charge is narrowly preferred to Deputy, who has been lightly raced this season and remains on a workable mark. Yaaser would be a big player if turning up after Friday's scheduled engagement in the Bronze Cup, while Riot and the unexposed Angel From Above are others to consider.

YAASER was just about better than ever when successful at Southwell 10 days ago and his revised mark looks well within range. A few of these lurk on dangerous marks, notably Cold Stare and Old Smoke so they are a couple of potential threats in what is an open race.

If RIOT reacts well to a visor he's handicapped to win. Stablemate Cold Stare will be a threat if over his exertions on Friday.

17:20 Ayr Handicap (Class 3) 13f Race Class Flow

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

FURZIG ran his best race for a while when third over 1m4f at Thirsk after being handed a chance by the handicapper and he is fancied to turn the tables on the winner Vaynor. The latter finished a length and a quarter in front of the selection but is worse off at the weights. Sir Chauvelin should also be thereabouts after returning to form when springing a surprise over the extended 2m at Southwell last week.

FURZIG has shaped better than the result on his last 2 starts, left poorly placed when beaten a length at Thirsk a fortnight ago, so he can gain a first success of the season having dropped back down to his last winning mark. He is taken to reverse the placings with Vaynor from when the pair met last time, with Mr Curiosity completing the shortlist.

Vaynor seemingly needs good ground or better. with good to soft forecast, MR CURIOSITY makes plenty of appeal.

About U.K Horse Racing

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. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. 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.
