Scottish racing fans are heading to Ayr for an excellent Tuesday card.
The venue has seven afternoon races and Record Sport’s leading tipster Garry Owen takes you through his fancies.
DEO BELLATOR (2:15) looks deadly for shrewd Michael Millar in the Coral Handicap Hurdle.
Impressive at Clonmel, the mare improved again when second to the useful Crackaway at Sligo.
The eight-year-old remains nicely unexposed over 2m 4f so she can claim a competitive contest.
Philip Kirby is hitting form, so I’m on BE THE DIFFERENCE (1:05) in a tricky handicap hurdle.
The gelding returned with an excellent second to the well-treated Rock The House at Wetherby.
Be the Difference, a six-year-old, was a shade unlucky that day so he can gain due compensation dropped in class.
OKAVANGO DELTA (1:40) can take a competitive maiden hurdle.
Rose Dobbin’s gelding recorded a clear personal best when chasing home the improving Nells Son at Kelso.
The five-year-old was staying-on very strongly over two miles so he can open his account up in trip.
The novices’ handicap chase is even trickier, but I’m backing Iain Jardine’s ANIMORE (2:50).
The mare stayed on the rise over fences when chinned by Dorking Boy over course and distance.
There is plenty more to come from this likeable type who can go one better on the softer surface.
SHANROE AL C (3:23) can bag the tricky Coral Handicap Chase for the skilled Karl Thornton.
The eight-year-old was an eye-catching third to Direct Image in better company at Fairyhouse.
Ridden by Daryl Jacob, the gelding still lurks on an inviting mark and can resume winning ways.
