5:35 Ayr Tips

Runners-up last time in a Roscommon handicap earlier this week. Stable has found an opportunity here over the water. My NAP bet.

Odds lower at other bookies so playing this one for the price more than anything. Should get a place easy enough then hopefully push for the win

This veteran stands a strong chance of clinching a spot at fair odds. He has a fondness for Ayr, showcases established form, and arrives in top shape following a remarkable 2nd-place finish at Musselburgh on Tuesday.

Lope Y Linda has won two of their last four races and was second in one of the other ones and with the most recent of those wins coming here has a good chance of challenging those above in the market.

Trainer Whilians has a good record here at Ayr. He often targets these types of handicaps over 5-7f on the flat. Should suit Ramon Di Loria, who won at this course at 6f (straight) on good ground. Finished recent 3rd at Musselburgh, which is a similar track regarding the bend, but more of a straight coming out of the bend. With Ayr having less of a straight coming out of the bend, that could play to RDL's strengths. All dependent on today's winning and regular jockey Fairly getting this horse into a good position. When trying to settle RDL in the 2-furlong mark, going down slightly, he is very likely to hit the inside rail, avoiding any traffic, and be ready to pounce at the 4-furlong mark, playing into RDL's surging strengths here on the bend. Hopefully he will have pulled away here; with only a little straight going slightly uphill, he should have this in the bag for a late surge from his rivals, all subject to Fairly getting this horse settled into a good position.

The 5yo mare was a good 3rd at the end of last month, staying on strong over 6f and this 7f trip will suit her. Facing much lower rated rivals today and she has a very strong jockey change.

a weak looking handicap and summerstorms dream appeals at a very big looking 22/1.he didnt handle the soft ground last time but was previously running well off of higher marks.this step up in trip also looks a plus
