Joe Fanning’s lead at the top of the Ayr jockeys’ championship increased to 5 points after last Monday’s Ayr Gold Cup Trial meeting with Joe registering a second and a third to keep him ahead of reigning champion Paul Mulrennan.

Andrew Mullen’s double moves him up to 31 points and keeps him in third place with Jason Hart’s win on See My Baby Jive keeping him 4th on 22 points.

Billy Garrity’s double moved him up from 15 points to 21 and puts him to within a point of Mullen’s total in 5th place.

Jim Goldie had a rare day at Ayr without a winner last Monday but the reigning champion trainer added a second and two thirds to maintain a big lead over second placed Iain Jardine who celebrated a winner with JKR Cobbler

In the Owners’ championship, it’s now a 3-way tie at the top between Mrs Francesca Mitchell, James Callow & Jim Goldie and Summerstorm Bloodstock.

TOP TRAINERS

TOP JOCKEYS

IAIN JARDINE

11% S U C C E S S RA T E AYR RECORD LAST 5 YEARS

36 WINS FROM 318 RUNNERS

The Carrutherstown trainer celebrated a massive winner at Market Rasen on Saturday when 6 year-old mare Born Famous completed a famous 5-timer for the yard by winning the £55,000 Summer Plate at Market Rasen under Harry Cobden. The Jardine horses have been in terrific form both on the Flat and over jumps and the trainer was on the mark here with JKR Cobbler last Monday after saddling winners at Hamilton and Perth over the previous two days. JKR Cobbler is back for more under a 5lbs penalty in today’s 7 furlongs handicap at 4.50 with Iain saddling 6 runners across the card. Lazareti is an interesting newcomer for the yard in the Irish EBF Maiden at 3.05 with Iain saddling both Showmedemoney and Zumaaty in the closing mile handicap.

JIM GOLDIE

11% S U C C E S S RA T E AYR RECORD LAST 5 YEARS 68 WINS FROM 642 RUNNERS

Jim’s horses have been in magnificent form at Ayr all season and the Uplawmoor trainer seems to be going all out to retain his champion trainer title at the home of the Ayr Gold Cup The Goldie sprinters are always to be respected in Ayrshire but Two Auld Pals plies his trade at longer trips and looks to make it 3 wins in 4 starts in today’s Apprentice Handicap over a mile and five furlongs which opens the card at 2.30 Eight year-old Ayr Poet was beaten on the nod in a photo finish here last Monday and will be a popular order to go one place better in the mile handicap at 5.25 under last week’s jockey, apprentice William Pyle.

DONALD WHILLANS

27% S U C C E S S RA T E AYR RECORD LAST 5 YEARS 3 WINS

FROM 11 RUNNERS

Borders trainer Donald has found the key to the mare See My Baby Jive over the course of the last two Mondays at Ayr and the 7 year-old goes for a 14-day hat-trick over course and distance in today’s 6 furlongs handicap at 4.15 Blinkers seem to have made a major difference to the Whillans’ runner with Jason Hart finding rich pickings by bringing her with winning runs up the stands rail on both occasions. She carries a 4lb penalty today and Hart has been claimed to ride topweight One More Dream for John Quinn but Danny Tudhope became an Ayr Gold Cup winning jockey on Summerghand last year and the Whillans’ mare will get every assistance from the saddle in her hat-trick bid.

DANNY TUDHOPE

15% S U C C E S S RA T E AYR RECORD LAST 5 YEARS 38 WINS FROM 251 RIDES

Danny’s 2022 Ayr Gold Cup win on Summerghand for his long-time ally David O’Meara was undoubtedly a career highlight for the Irvine-born rider and he continues to hold a retainer for owner Steve Parkin’s operation which is run under the Clipper Logistics banner Tudhope has 4 booked rides on the card this afternoon including recent Chantilly Listed race third Dorothy Lawrence for his retaining owners and he’s also picked up an excellent “spare” ride on the hat-trick seeking See My Baby Jive for trainer Donald Whillans in the sprint handicap at 4.15

JASON HART

13% S U C C E S S RA T E AYR RECORD LAST 5 YEARS 29 WINS FROM 217 RIDES

Hawick-born Jason is now 10 years on from landing the Champion Apprentice title with 51 winners back in 2013 and the 29 year-old’s career hit new heights last year thanks to the exploits of the triple Group One winning filly Highfield Princess, trained by his main employer John Quinn. The now 6 year-old has failed to add to those success so far this year but the mare has been placed under Hart in two Group Ones at Royal Ascot and a Group Two at York for form figures of 2-2-3 and she’s entered at Goodwood next Friday (Group Three) as well as the Group One Nunthorpe Stakes at York. Hart has 4 rides today including two for Quinn in the 3.40 and 4.15

PAUL MULRENNAN

17% SU CC ES S RA T E AYR RECORD LAST 5 YEARS 55 WINS FROM 332 RIDES

Paul rode a winner on each of the two days at Hamilton’s fixture last week and is going all out to retain his champion jockey title at Ayr as he continues to chase current leader Joe Fanning. His rides today include Kraken Power for his main supplier of Ayr winners, Jim Goldie, and the rider has become famous for his come from behind tactics over a variety of trips.

He has won four times from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to soft. Beaten 7l behind Mecca’s Angel at 20-1 when 9th of 19 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes at York over 5f (good) last month. Drop back into handicaps should suit.

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.

Two Auld Pals found one too strong as he went in search of his hat-trick at Hamilton nine days ago, but Jim Goldie’s in-form gelding merits respect raised just 1lb in the handicap. However, preference is for GOLDEN SHOT. Sir Mark Prescott’s unexposed stayer hit the woodwork at Newcastle when last seen, and he looks a likely improver now switched to turf.

DOROTHY LAWRENCE sets a clear standard on her recent exploits in Listed company and Karl Burke’s filly is hard to oppose now dropped markedly in class. Both Batal Zabeel and Whogoesthere will need to improve to hold any hope of toppling the likely favourite and a bigger threat may emerge from newcomer Pilgrim The son of Havana Grey is a half-brother to the useful Moraawed, who was rated 91 at his peak, and any market support would be interesting.

Whiskey Priest would be the obvious call after his dead-heat success at Yarmouth, but he has to carry a 6lb penalty here and preference is for top-weight MISTAMAC Still a maiden after six starts, he was beaten less than four lengths in a good race at Newcastle last month and ought to go well off 3lb lower. Borough would be interesting if he doesn’t pull too hard early on, and he clearly has the ability to make his presence felt.

Darbucks is likely to prove popular after being collared late on by reopposing rival Jkr Cobbler over C&D last Monday and Christopher Kellett’s charge is fancied to turn the tables now 5lb better off with the latter. A chance, however, could be taken on TURBO COMMAND, who offered more encouragement when staying on into sixth over 6f at Hamilton last month. The six-year-old enjoys a 3lb drop in the ratings and could offer a touch of value now returned to 7f.

DISTANCES

A narrow winner at Musselburgh on his final start for Tracey Waggott three weeks ago, ARCHDUKE FERDINAND looks more than capable of defying a subsequent 1lb rise in the handicap and he is fancied to repeat the dose. Ayr Poet seldom runs poorly around here and must be respected in receipt of weight all round, while Star Shield ought to feature following a string of solid performances. Irish Flame remains unexposed and must also be noted.
