The big race tomorrow is the Ayr Gold Cup at 3.10. Initially the expert opinion tended to favour those drawn high but that view was not borne out by the result of the Bronze Cup today where runners from a low draw dominated. It seems to ...

Bluie had run up a hat trick before finishing a very respectable 4th at Haydock last time out. There may still be more to come from him and he is one to look out for in the 2.55 at Ayr. The Ayr Bronze Cup at 4.05 will ...

  The racing at Ayr looks difficult tomorrow with some big fields. In the first at 2.20 it might pay to go with Walvis Bay, a half brother to 7 winners who made an encouraging enough start to his career when runner up at York. Know by Now ...

  I was pleased to see Nanton, one of my favourite horses gain a well deserved success today and there were also wins for Askar Tau and Stoic from last night’s preview. There is plenty of top class racing both in the UK and in Ireland tomorrow with ...
