FORM RATINGS Included in the form guide below each horse is a form rating, calculated from the horse’s previous performances, taking into account a number of variables such as finishing position, distance won/beaten by, horses beaten/beaten by, weight carried, race time (compared with the standard time), going allowance, number of days since that performance, etc.

Horses which have not raced will not have a form rating, as may some horses which have raced but not recently in Britain or their performances to-date have not yet merited a rating.

Brando was the winner of the Ayr Gold Cup on Saturday, 17th September, 2016.

DORNOCH CASTLE was one of many juvenile debut winners for his top yard last month and the style of his performance at Haydock, where he made all, suggested Pattern company may await at some point this season. An entry in the Group 1 National Stakes indicates the regard in which he is held and the son of Gleneagles can prove too classy for Common Acclaim, who should benefit from the step up to 7f. Ramz has the potential to improve on just his second start and is another to note.

An authoritative winner at Carlisle last month, there could be plenty more to come from POLAM LANE now he has regained the winning thread. Water Of Leith hasn’t been doing himself any favours by breaking slowly on his last few outings, but the talent is clearly there. A 5lb rise for a comfortable success at Ripon will make life tougher for Brazen Belle, while Elladora is capable of being in the shake-up as well.

DISTANCES

SLAINTE MHATH has stepped forward in handicap company and arrives having got off the mark here in May. She went up 6lb for that success and appears capable of further improvement with the forecast rain unlikely to harm her chances. Classy Al bounced back to form when fourth at Hamilton and he has to enter calculations, with a stiffer test of stamina over this distance a positive. Others worthy of consideration include Final Account (seventh) and Communion (eighth), the pair of them capable of better after their recent meeting at Redcar.

LOOKING AHEAD...

AYR GOLD CUP TRIAL, CLASS 3, 6F £30,000 MONDAY JULY 18 As everyone connected to racing knows the Ayr Gold Cup is one of the most famous and richest sprint handicaps in the calendar and for the first time this year we have introduced an Ayr Gold Cup Trial which will be the feature of our Glasgow Fair Family Day on Monday July 18.

The race is for horses aged 3 years old and upwards and rated between 71-90 and is also open to horses rated 91 and 92.

This should see some high quality handicappers participating and it’s worth noting that in recent years subsequent Ayr Gold Cup winners Don’t Touch (2015), Baron Bolt (2018), Angel Alexander (2019) and Nahaarr (2020) would all have been eligible to run in the Trial.

It will be fascinating to track the fortunes of the horses that finish in the first three in the new race and see how they fare come September if they line up in either the Ayr Gold, Silver or Bronze Cups There is also a stunning trophy that will be held by the winning owner for a year and is a silver cup which was previously run for a race named the Squadron Gallop.

Ayr Racecourse Managing Director David Brown said : “We believe the Ayr Gold Cup trial will appeal to trainers with horses who are running well and who require a win or two to rise in the ratings and qualify for the Gold Cup which is usually raced for by horses rated in the high 90s upwards.

“The fact there is £30,000 in prizemoney on offer on a Monday afternoon should also be attractive to owners and trainers and we are all looking forward to a competitive race with plenty of runners.”

www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk Glasses Up produced a cracking effort when runner-up over course and distance last time and warrants respect if taking up this engagement (also declared here yesterday). However, it may be worth focusing on THRONE HALL, who produced his best effort for Archie Watson when second at York on his latest start. Zuraig was unlucky in running at Musselburgh last time and can get involved, while Charging Thunder is a capable performer on his day and shouldn’t be far away either.

QUEST FOR FUN looked like a sprinter to keep on side when beating two subsequent winners at Thirsk last month and a 7lb rise for that success could prove lenient for this unexposed four-yearold. Call Me Ginger is an obvious threat on the back of his determined success at Ayr, but he was well held in this contest last year when behind the reopposing Black Friday. Aberama Gold and Music Society with similar profiles and cannot be dismissed either.

GRIGADALE won on his penultimate start at Listowel and has recently switched to the UK to join the Barrons. The step back up to 7f is likely to aid his cause and the four-year-old could have more to offer for his new trainers. Yaaser comes into this in excellent form, having benefited from a drop back in distance, and another bold bid is expected from Jim Goldie’s gelding. Chookie Dunedin and True Warfare appeal most of the remainder.

TIME

DISTANCES

A winner over course and distance on his last two outings, FLYING MOON still gives the impression he has more to offer and the six-year-old can prove too strong for his rivals. Karl Burke’s Tele Red finished second on both of his starts last month and should figure prominently once again, while the class-dropping Sophiesticate looks the type to benefit from the step up to this trip and can also get involved.

Friends of Racing Welfare

You can become a friend of Racing Welfare by donating as little as £5 per month

“For every horse that appears on a racecourse, there is a large group of individuals that have made it happen. They are not in the limelight, but they are totally dedicated to their work. When these people face difficulties in their lives, they need somewhere to turn, and Racing Welfare is there for each and every one of them.”

- HRH The Princess Royal President of Racing Welfare

Your £5 a month will allow a retired beneficiary to meet up with old friends and reminisce about their time in the racing industry.

Your £60 over the course of the year will allow a retired couple to attend one of our special day trips to attend a raceday, the theatre or to the seaside.

To find out how you can become a Friend of Racing Welfare contact us at info@racingwelfare.co.uk or call 01638 560 763 www.racingwelfare.co.uk | Registered Charity No 1084042

HORSE CARE AT AYR At every race meeting at Ayr there are three specially qualified equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action.

During a race two vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend a casualty in the same response time as the Medical Teams responsible for the welfare of the Jockeys.

The third vet is based at the Stable Yard where a close check is kept on all horses especially those returning after a race.

MEDIA COVERAGE & RECORDING FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES All Attendees (which for the purposes of this clause also includes horses and for the avoidance of any doubt includes families with children) are reminded that many races and fixtures are given coverage on television, radio and in print and various other forms of media. By entering the Racecourse Attendees are accepting they may appear in such coverage which may also include printed or electronic material used for the promotion of the Racecourse.

Accordingly, Attendees shall have no right to object to their inclusion in any much coverage whether produced by the Racecourse or by third parties authorised by the Racecourse. Furthermore by entering the Racecourse each Attendee consents to the passing of still or moving images of them to third parties authorised by the Racecourse for the purposes of the production of printed or electronic material to be used solely for the Promotion of the Racecourse.

Each Attendee will give any additional consents or waivers required for the unrestricted lawful use of any coverage (if any) without request for payment or imposing any other conditions.

USE OF SCREENS It is now standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the ground. This does not reflecton the severity of an injury, but allows the vet some privacy and the horse the opportunity in a calm environment, in which to make a recovery. Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse!

For equine care provided at Ayr see under officials at the back of this card.
