A switch to more forceful tactics saw Magistery making all at Carlisle 10 days ago and she warrants respect in her follow-up bid. However, this Class 4 event looks more competitive and a 6lb penalty may be enough to find out Michael Dods’ filly. With that in mind, last-time-out Catterick winner MAGIC BOX gets the vote. The daughter of Showcasing scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 7lb rise is workable. Nursery debutantes Aspiral and Radiance are others of interest. totewin: Magic Box

TODAY’S JOCKEY TO WATCH - CLIFFORD LEE
Lee’s partnership with trainer Karl Burke has been reaping rich dividends for both men for a while now and last year’s Ayr Gold Cup win on Burke’s Lethal Levi was a notable career milestone on the way to his first Group 1 success on Venetian Sun in last month’s Prix Morny at Deauville. The jockey’s terrific year continued with victory in last weekend’s Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster on Aylin and while retained rider James Doyle was on Karl Burke’s Fallen Angel at Leopardstown last weekend, it was Lee who was on board the trainer’s two other big-race winners at Leopardstown and the Curragh, Convergent and Alparsian. The jockey has several fancied rides on today’s card and looks sure to be back tomorrow with Burke likely to have runners in all the big races on Gold Cup day 10% SUCCESS RATE AT AYR OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS 13 WINS FROM 129 RIDES
TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - KARL BURKE
Middleham based Burke saddled a remarkable 1-2-3 in last year’s Ladbrokes Ayr Gold Cup with Lethal Levi, Silky Wilkie and Korker with the trainer bagging the race for the first time this century after wins in 1994 and 1998 for Daring Destiny (Jason Tate) and Always Alight (John Egan). The Burke yard’s fortunes have hardly waned ever since that day a year ago with top class performances from a host of stable stars including Fallen Angel and that now multiple Group 1 winning filly was successful at the recent Irish Champions Weekend alongside winning stable companions Convergent and Alparsian. Burke also had a juvenile Group 2 success at Doncaster’s St Leger meeting with Aylin and is well represented here at Ayr both today and tomorrow

THE BRITISH EBF STALLIONS
HARRY ROSEBERY STAKES (CLASS 1) (LISTED RACE)
RACE DESCRIPTION
Listed races are high-class and only bettered by a Group 1, 2 or 3 contest. In effect, it is an intermediate level; many of the runners in this five-furlong contest for two-year-olds will be using this race as a springboard to even better things. Initially weight is allocated according to sex, before penalties are given to horses that have previously won at this level or above. These penalties range from 3lb for a Listed success to 5lb for a Pattern race victory
LAST YEAR’S WINNER STAR OF MEHMAS
SP: 12/1
Age/Weight: 2-9-0
Runners: 14
Jockey: Billy Loughnane
Trainer: Richard Hughes
Summary: Back on turf and up in grade, the classy filly Star Of Mehmas completed a hat-trick of wins with her best effort over 5f yet. She took the lead over 1f out and finished strongly to hold off Uncle Don by a length.

(CLASS 2)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This race is a six-furlong handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards. The majority of handicaps are designed for horses from with a specific ratings band but this particular race has no rating restrictions attached to it which allows horses with a higher rating to take part. Despite having no rating restrictions attached to it the higher rated horses must still concede weight to their lower rated rivals, which tend to make open handicaps very competitive races.
LAST YEAR’S WINNER DILIGENT RESDEV
SP: 16/1

Summary: Appreciating the decent gallop back on turf Diligent Resdev’s joint trainers were no doubt delighted with the gelding turning in his best effort despite a slow start. He raced in midfield throughout and thundered home to finish 1 3/4 lengths ahead of Parisiac.

With both the sire and dam having won on heavy ground, KEATS HOUSE should not be inconvenienced by soft ground and he can follow up under a 6lb penalty for his comfortable victory at Musselburgh on Monday. A consistent sort throughout the summer and a respectable third at Sandown most recently, Atmosphere can give the selection most to think about, along with another recent Musselburgh winner Golden Valour, who is 4lb well-in on this occasion.

Annandale regained the winning thread over track and trip and is likely to be on the premises, but the vote goes to his stable companion ALNAYEF The Jim Goldie-trained four-year-old finished a short head in second at Hamilton behind Perseus Way at the start of the month and is 1lb better off. The race was at his mercy that day before wandering around when hitting the front so with a more patient ride, he can strike. Fleur De Mer completes the shortlist totewin: Alnayef
