A wind operation and a first-time tongue-tie may see an upturn in fortune for Hill O Rue after disappointing on both starts in 2026. Naturalia has been knocking hard on the door with a trio of runner-up efforts and she is expected to be competitive once again. However, the vote goes to RUMBUSTIOUS The son of Dubawi appears likely to benefit from a drop back in trip based on his last couple of starts and he may be able to take advantage of the weight-for-age allowance. totewin: Rumbustious
TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - CHARLIE JOHNSTON
Charlie was in the winners’ enclosure at Sandown on Friday after last year’s Derby runner-up Lazy Griff bounced back to winning form in a Listed race over 2 miles and the Kingsley Park stable-star will now be aimed at races like the Goodwood Cup and the Irish St Leger Lazy Griff’s win was the 52nd success of 2026 for the Johnston yard and the Middleham trainer has already been on the mark here at Ayr this season as he boosted his 5-year track record to 17 winners, a 16% strike-rate which improves to 41% for Johnston horses hitting the frame on their tips north from Yorkshire. Charlie has 5 horses declared here today after 1 runner yesterday and we look forward to seeing the yard’s long-serving jockey Joe Fanning back in action soon after serious illness

RESULT DISTANCES 1ST
Hunterian supplemented two creditable efforts in defeat with a triumph over C&D. Charlie Johnston’s colt must enter calculations off 3lb higher, but EY UP HE’S A STAR is slightly more compelling. The four-year-old travelled with more verve in first-time cheekpieces when finishing third in an 18-runner affair at Doncaster and, off an unchanged mark, he may prove to be better treated. Flying Moonlight is the pick of the remainder.

Iain Jardine boasts an impressive strike-rate at present and PARISIAC holds leading claims. The seven-year-old has done little wrong in two defeats since scoring at Hamilton and a 1lb nudge up the ratings for his latest second over C&D is workable. Tip Foster came good at the second time of asking at Thirsk and he’s open to improvement on his handicap bow, while York runner-up Woven makes most appeal of those drawn high.

LADBROKES AYR GOLD CUP FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
THE FIRTH OF CLYDE STAKES (G3)
The Group 3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes for 2 year-old fillies is the only Group race in the Scottish racing calendar and attained that status in 2004 after having been run as a Listed event for several years. One of the most notable winners was the 2002 scorer Airwave, a filly which went on to win the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket next time out. Returning to the track as a 3 year-old, Airwave went down by half a length to Aussie raider Choisir in Royal Ascot’s Golden Group 1 Golden Jubilee Stakes in 2003 before returning to Ayr to win the Listed Land O’Burns Fillies’ Stakes the following summer
£3,000 purchase Rose Of Kildare won the race for Mark Johnston and Joe Fanning in 2019 before being sold for 800,000 guineas the following year and 2024 course record breaker Sky Majesty won a Chantilly Group 2 next time out before winning at Listed and Group 3 level (again) in 2025
The late Barry Hills has trained the record number of Firth Of Clyde Stakes winners with 6 successes between 1976 and 1996 while jockey Paul Mulrennan has ridden the winner 3 times in 2012, 2016 and 2022
