Miss Roberts

1.375
11/8(+31%)
(1) Miss Roberts 11/8, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, bit below form second of 7 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Should be on the premises, provided she goes on the ground (all starts to date on good/good to firm).
Has gone close in both nurseries; bang there if conditions suit (unraced on slow ground).

(6) Buttercross Flyer 7/2, Winner at Newcastle in August. 15/2, creditable fourth of 12 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f) 9 days ago. Unraced on ground slower than good but will be a threat if conditions don't pose a problem.
Has to transfer AW improvement back to turf but there has been promise on grass; respected.

4/1(-129%)
(3) Lunar Streets 4/1, Promising type. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/4, second of 8 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 21 days ago, running on. Likely she has more to offer now stepping up in trip and into handicap company.
Promise over 6f on first two starts & open to improvement now up in trip on nursery debut.

14/1(-40%)
(5) Roman Secret 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 20/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 25 days ago. Needs to take a sizeable step forward now handicapping.
Flopped on AW latest but promise on turf previously; could bounce back on nursery debut.

11/1(+8%)
(4) Never Fear 11/1, Thrice-raced winner. Successful at Wolverhampton in May. 5/1, fifth of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 85 days ago. Needs to get back on track now upped in trip for this handicap debut.
Underwhelming on both starts since her winning debut but the break may have helped.

7/1(-8%)
(2) Elinor Dashwood 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Haydock in July. Fourth of 5 in minor event (15/2) at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Improvement needed now pitched into a handicap.
Haydock 6f maiden winner who is worth a go at this trip and is not ruled out.
LTO Selection:

13:15 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ELINOR DASHWOOD ran as well as expected when finishing fourth in a race full of progressive types at Chester earlier this month and may be able to regain the winning thread on her nursery debut. The twice-raced Lunar Streets also enters handicaps off what looks a workable mark and Ed Dunlop's filly may give the selection most to think about, although Miss Roberts arrives in good heart.

This is probably best left to LUNAR STREETS, who landed a soft-ground Leicester maiden on debut last month prior to finishing second under a penalty at Carlisle where she didn't enjoy the best of runs. She is likely to benefit from this step up in trip and has been handed what looks a very fair opening mark. Buttercross Flyer and Miss Roberts can fill the places.

The step up in trip looks to be the right move for LUNAR STREETS and she is taken to make a winning nursery debut.

(2) Two Tribes 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Sandown in August. Good second of 5 in nursery at Chelmsford City (5f, 6/4) 20 days ago. Boasts a progressive profile.

13/2(+19%)
(10) Bill's Baar 13/2, Won 6-runner maiden (11/4) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Makes handicap debut. One to consider.
Slow-starter but won Ripon maiden recently and could continue to progress; not discounted.

6th (8) Media Shooter (10/3 +17%)
Media Shooter

3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(8) Media Shooter 10/3, Thrice-raced winner. Sixth of 22 in minor event (40/1) at York (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Makes nursery debut.
Sixth of 22 in sales race at York last month and has potential off his opening mark.
LTO Selection:

13:45 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

In what looks a closely-matched contest, a chance is taken on MEDIA SHOOTER, who was sixth in a valuable sales race at York but is 4lb better off with the reopposing third, Love Billy Boy, for just over a length. Two Tribes narrowly failed to follow up his victory in a decent Sandown handicap when second at Chelmsford latest and a further 4lb rise may not prevent this progressive colt mounting another bold challenge. Master Of My Fate steps up a furlong, which is expected to suit.

ALMARADA showed a good response to pressure when doubling his tally at Hamilton 17 days ago and he appears to have been handed a lenient opening mark for his nursery debut, so he takes preference over Sayidh Kingman who was impressive when opening his account at Kempton last month. Love Billy also makes appeal in a race where the majority can be given some sort of a chance.

The return to 6f should be ideal for LOVE BILLY BOY, whose sales race third at York last month suggests he could be a big player.

(7) Queen's Guard 16/1, 12/1, won 9-runner maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 44 days ago, readily. Should progress further, so not a forlorn hope
Beaten fav on soft-ground debut; won at Yarmouth (good) but needs to improve on that.

(6) Beautiful Diamond 5/6, Winner at Nottingham in June. 1¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Relief Rally in Lowther Stakes (7/2) at York (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Remains with potential and should make her presence felt.
Queen Mary third who looked stretched by 6f in the Lowther; softish ground a grey area.

Purosangue

1.375
11/8(+8%)
(3) Purosangue 11/8, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Haydock in June. Runner-up in Molecomb at Goodwood last time. 9/4, bit below form 2 lengths second of 10 to Inquisitively in listed race at York (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Has the best form and recent rain has helped his cause, so big player.
Ran his best race on soft ground when pushing Big Evs close in a Group 3 at Goodwood.

(2) Mon Na Slieve 11/1, Thrice-raced winner. 3¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Inquisitively in listed race at York (5f, good to firm, 11/2) 27 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Bit to find but still relatively unexposed.
Looks all about speed; behind Purosangue last time and softer ground here is a worry.

5th (5) Alfa Moonstone (150/1 -67%)
Alfa Moonstone

150
150/1(-67%)
(5) Alfa Moonstone 150/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Catterick in May. Last of 6 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good, 17/2) 26 days ago. Plenty to find on form.
Last on her nursery debut 26 days ago and has a lot to find in this company.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Ayr Listed (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

PUROSANGUE was only beaten a neck by Big Evs in the Molecomb at Goodwood and then confirmed that promise when second at this level in the Roses Stakes at York. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give the son of Aclaim a big chance. Beautiful Diamond is an obvious threat having been placed in the Queen Mary and not beaten far at all in the Lowther last time. Queen's Guard rates best of the rest.

PUROSANGE was going the right way prior to a slight blip when only second in a listed contest at York last time and, with the ground likely to come in his favour, he takes preference over Beautiful Diamond, who is closely matched with the selection on form. Queen's Guard is the type to do better still and looks an interesting outsider.

Beautiful Diamond is not opposed lightly but PUROSANGUE's proven ability on soft ground swings the pendulum in his favour.

Easy handicap win in June was a career best, but soundly beaten in Listed race since.
LTO Selection:

14:50 Ayr Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

QUEEN ME has only competed at the highest level this year, with her best effort possibly coming in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, where she was not beaten far into sixth. The daughter of Dubawi steps into much calmer waters and she can gain a well-deserved second career success. Funny Story (second) had Gale Force Maya (fourth) behind when only denied by a neck at Pontefract and can go well once more. Sophia's Starlight has had a cracking season and could also mount a bold bid.

A few with chances. MARINE WAVE shaped really well when third in a York handicap last time so at the likely odds is worth siding with to take this step up in class in her stride. Funny Story also arrives at the top of her game and is feared greatly along with form-choice Queen Me, who acquitted hersel well in York's Nunthorpe Stakes last time out.

The 3yo MARINE WAVE was runner-up in a warm Listed race here in June and is the selection on the back of her unlucky third at York.

(4) Yaaser 10/1, Course winner. Career best when readily landing 12-runner handicap at Southwell (7f) 9 days ago. Deserted by Paul Mulrennan this time but still respected under a 5 lb penalty.
Wins at 7f-plus but a fast-run race in a big field over 6f could play to his strengths.

(6) Harry's Halo 16/1, Runner-up twice in 6f handicaps in the mud in July. Not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 at Pontefract last month and treated as if still in form. This 3-y-o is one of the least exposed in the line-up.
Lightly raced 3yo who could resume his progressive ways when back on a slow surface.

(3) Ascot Adventure 15/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022 but that doesn't tell the full story as there have been plenty of good placed efforts since joining this yard. Capable of having a say.
Races over 7f in the main but a strong pace in this big field can see him to good effect.

Winless since October 2021 but went very close at Doncaster latest and he likes it here.

Creditable fifth last season and has won three times this year; might not be far away.

Outpaced when mid-division over 5f here yesterday; not written off now back up in trip.

Won twice this summer but below par the last twice, most recently here yesterday.

3yo who has won five times this year, mainly at 7f but once over 6f; has a chance.

A couple of fair efforts on turf this summer but now 2-31 on grass; others more compelling.

Two big runs over C&D in the summer and could give a good account now back here.

Won this in 2019 and he's one to consider judged on his close second over C&D this July.

(8) Little Muddy 17/2, Started the season with wins at Doncaster (5f, heavy) and over C&D (good) and showed he's still in form when second of 11 at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) last month. Any easing of the ground would increase his chance.
Two wins this spring & some good form this summer, also; every chance she'll be in the mix.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A typically wide-open renewal in which chances can be made for plenty. Jordan Electrics was fifth in this 12 months ago and looks to be peaking at the right time in order to mount another stern challenge. Ascot Adventure has been in consistent form and could go well coming off a strong pace, along with stablemate Cold Stare. ASADJUMEIRAH finished sixth in the Silver Trophy at Ripon last month and is 13lb lower than when finishing a creditable 10th in last year's Silver Cup. He shades preference, while Kats Bob and Little Muddy are just two others to consider.

2019 winner MUSIC SOCIETY underlined he's well suited to this C&D when second in another big-field race in July and looks handicapped to strike having dropped 3 lb in the meantime. Jim Goldie pair American Affair, who shaped very well when third over 5f here on Thursday, and Rock Melody head the many dangers. Cold Stare could also have a big run in him if the ground goes soft.

The filly ROCK MELODY (nap) returned to form at Musselburgh last Sunday and caught the eye in the Gold Cup Trial over C&D in July.

Ran okay when fourth on stable debut (7f, AW) but needs to prove his stamina for 1m.
LTO Selection:

16:00 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

YORKSTONE took a little while to get on the scoresheet but he showed his appreciation for testing conditions when successful over 7f at Doncaster. The way he powered to the line suggested that he won't have a problem with the extra furlong, and he can double up. Ayr regular Retirement Beckons must be considered closely, while Gracelands Girl produced a better effort at Thirsk on Monday. Cosmos Raj has to enter the equation too.

A competitive event with the vote going to COSMOS RAJ, who left the firm impression he'd have been right in the mix with more luck in running at Thirsk last time. Pembrokeshire shaped encouragingly on his recent yard debut at Newcastle and should tighten up for the outing, with Doncaster-scorer Yorkstone another to take seriously.

Having been in good form prior to Ripon last time, when he had an excuse (found to be coughing), POL ROGER can exploit a reduced mark.

11-race maiden; recent efforts offer come hope but he's not the percentage call here.
LTO Selection:

16:35 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Jim Goldie holds a leading hand, with his two C&D winners Ayr Poet and ALPINE SIERRA likely to be at the forefront of the market. The latter edges the vote having returned to form when finishing a close-up third at Carlisle and he races off 1lb lower here. His stablemate has already won twice at this venue this season and should go well again, while No Barrier shouldn't be far away if freshened up by a short break.

ALPINE SIERRA signalled he's ready to go in again when third at Carlisle last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark here at the chief expense of C&D winner Chinese Spirit. In-form duo Zumaaty and Ayr Poet appeal as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

The recent rain is a big positive for ZUMAATY, who recently signalled a return to form at Hamilton.

All three wins at Hamilton; even her best turf form may not be quite good enough.
LTO Selection:

17:10 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 13f Race Class Flow

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

Valley Of Flowers won this race last year from a 4lb lower mark and recent performances have proven that she can compete from her current mark. The five-year-old merits respect, as does Annandale, who struck the woodwork at Redcar last month, though a chance is taken on GLASSES UP. The son of English Channel was unable to land a blow at Musselburgh 23 days ago, but he is proven at a higher level and might be able to strike down in class.

VALLEY OF FLOWERS has been holding her form very well and is selected to land this race for a second year running. There are plenty of dangers however, with Belle of Annandale, a recent winner over hurdles, and Annandale, who ran well from a career-low mark at Redcar last month, to name just a couple.

She might not the best handicapped but VALLEY OF FLOWERS won this last year and looks by some way the most likely to give her running.

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.
