INANNA: Following its run on 22/4/2025 it was reported that the jockey was slow to remove the blindfold. Probable S.P’s: 9-2 Ramon Di Loria (IRE), 11-2 Royal Duke (GB), 13-2 Inanna (IRE), 15-2 King of The Jungle (IRE), 17-2 Giselles Izzy (IRE), 10-1 White Umbrella (GB), Rory (GB), 16-1 Agnes Grey (IRE), 18-1 Bernie The Bear (IRE), 20-1 Jump The Gun (IRE)
Given her rider had problems removing the blindfold at Thirsk six days ago, INANNA shaped better than the bare form in third. Jim Goldie’s mare makes grand appeal dropping into class 6 company and she looks poised to strike. The biggest threat may emerge from Ramon Di Loria, who warrants respect reverting to 6f. Royal Duke has shaped as if this longer trip could unlock some improvement and the four-year-old completes the shortlist.

TODAY’S JOCKEY TO WATCH - PAUL MULRENNAN
Mulrennan has been having his usual excellent winter on the all-weather track at Newcastle but the 41 year-old continues to shine at Ayr during the summer months and his partnership with Jim Goldie at the Ayrshire track continues to be one of the most fruitful in the sport. Paul finished the British Flat season for 2024 in 8th position with 107 winners from 789 rides with his 19% strike-rate for the Goldie yard comparing to 14% winners to rides overall. Paul has 4 rides on this afternoon’s opening card of the 2025 Flat season here at Ayr, including Flying Scotsman for owner JP McManus and trainer Ben Haslam in the closing Coral Handicap over a mile and 5 furlongs.

TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - JIM GOLDIE
Goldie rarely leaves a Flat meeting at Ayr without a winner on the lorry heading back to Uplawmoor in East Renfrewshire and the trainer garnered the most points over the course of last season at the track, with 5 points awarded for a win, 3 for a second and 1 for a third. Over the course of the entire 2024 Flat season, big Jim finished with a win and place prize money total of £947,509 and a strike rate of 14% thanks to 74 winners from 523 runners overall. The Goldie team will be busy saddling 8 runners on today’s card, including a first runner for the members of the newly formed Ayr Racecourse Racing Club, Sophiesticate heading to post at 3.30 for a first run in 18 months under talented apprentice Amie Waugh.

CAN’T STOP NOW: Following its run on 10/10/2024 it was reported that the horse ran too free.
CHIEFMAN: Following its run on 21/9/2024 it was reported that the horse hung right-handed. Probable S.P’s: 10-3 Sea Regal (IRE), 4-1 Spirit of Acklam (GB), 6-1 Can’t Stop Now (IRE), 8-1 Cavallo Pazzo (IRE), 17-2 Curran (IRE), 12-1 Sophiesticate (IRE), 14-1 Ayr Poet (GB), 16-1 Samra Star (IRE), 40-1 Chiefman (GB), 66-1 Cougar (JPN)
SPIRIT OF ACKLAM is entitled to be sharper for this after running fresh at Doncaster on his reappearance. He was beaten less than a length when third here back in October behind Can’t Stop Now, and the son of Cracksman has a fitness edge over that rival as he looks to turn the tables. Sea Regal won her maiden over 1m2f and is worth noting on her debut for David O’Meara’s yard. totewin:

Starliner has been threatening a return to winning ways, but his chance has been compromised by a wide draw. YAASER looks a safer proposition, given he returned to the fray with a fine third at Redcar and Jim Goldie’s inmate can make the most of this drop in class. Our Dagger landed a double at Kempton at the start of the year and can feature if carrying over that form to the turf. totewin: Yaaser

FLYING SCOTSMAN kept on well to finish third over 1m4f at Catterick last time out, an effort for which the handicapper dropped him 1lb. The extra furlong looks a real positive for Ben Haslam’s charge and he’s fancied to come out on top. Agathon travelled powerfully into contention over 2m at Nottingham recently but having weakened approaching the furlong mark, he could benefit from a drop in trip. Others to note include Crystal Guard and Glasses Up. totewin: Flying Scotsman
