Draw
MISEMERALD built on her debut third at Carlisle when getting off the mark at Beverley and Philip Kirby’s filly, who drops back in trip on this occasion, may prove too strong for the opposition. Beechwood Star shaped with a fair amount of promise when third at Thirsk earlier in the month and is expected to be sharper for that initial experience, while Terrorise and Petra Celera appeal most of the remainder.

2ND
In a competitive renewal it may be sensible to side with MAC AILEY, who could be called the winner a long way out when holding on for a neck success here over further. If he travels as well today then the drop back to a mile may prove ideal, although Propagation is a major danger. Only beaten two lengths last time despite a slow start and trouble in running, he may get involved with a better passage. End Zone was caught close home at Musselburgh and may try to make all, while Chinese Spirit is another to think about for the places.

THUNDER ROAR appeared to win with something in hand for new connections over 7f last Monday and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent Tony Coyle’s inmate from completing a quick-fire double. Illusionist shaped better than the bare form when sixth at Haydock last month and is another tostronglyconsidernow2lblowerthanhislastsuccess,whilethehat-trickseekingRockMelodycan’t be ruled out in his current mood, despite a 4lb rise for his Musselburgh success earlier in the month.

JIM’S FOUR WINNERS GIVE HIM MASSIVE LEAD
Jim Goldie’s amazing run at Ayr continued when he bagged four winners over the two days of our opening July meeting last weekend.
He saddled One Last Hug, Banner Road and Braes Of Doune to win at our Family Raceday on Sunday July 3 followed by Geremia on Monday July 4.
Jim now sits on 81 points in the Trainers Championship for the 2023 Flat Trainers Championship at the track and leads second placed Iain Jardine by 43 points.
Joe Fanning’s lead at the top of the Jockeys championship is trimmed to just two points as he leads Paul Mulrennan by 50 to 48.
In the Owners Championship Mrs Francesca Mitchell is a point to the good over James Callow and Jim Goldie and Summerstorm Bloodstock.

A tricky puzzle for punters to solve and the safest option may be ELLADORA, a course winner who went close off this mark in a similar event at Carlisle on Thursday and she should relish the testing conditions. Global Humor has won here on four occasions, including twice this summer, and must be considered back at his favourite venue, while C&D winner Honour Your Dreams has dropped back to fair mark. Others to consider are last-start course winners One Last Hug and See My Baby Jive, both of whom carry a 4lb penalty. totewin: Elladora

Assuming she isn’t fazed by switching back to turf, a bold bid can be expected from My Roxanne, who won in a game manner over this trip on Tapeta at Newcastle last month, while similar comments apply to Spartakos, who notably runs without any headgear now returned to a grass surface. However, the hat-trick seeking EY UP ITS JAZZ is hard to ignore off just 3lb higher than his game success at Thirsk from last time. Irish raider Clarinbridge also commands respect.

3RD 4TH TIME
ARCH MOON bounced back to form with a taking win at Wetherby last time out and a 4lb rise could prove lenient for a six-year-old that has operated off much higher marks in the past. Hills Of Gold has been knocking on the door of late and look to be his main danger, along with Roll It In Glitter, who was a convincing winner at Beverley on his penultimate outing.
