Scottish racing fans are heading to Ayr today for a cracking card of Monday action.
There are seven jumps events to get stuck into and Record Sport tipster Garry Owen takes you through his fancies on the card.
FOSTER’SISLAND (1:35) can coast to victory for shrewd Micky Hammond.
The hurdler clearly relished returning to 2m 5f when hacking up from Channel Packet at Kelso.
The gelding looks nicely unexposed so he can strike again under the skilled Emma Smith-Chaston.
AILIE ROSE (12:30) can blossom for Irish ace Shane Crawford in a competitive novices’ hurdle.
BARNEY STINSON (1:00) can get off the mark for Adam Nicol in the Coral Handicap Hurdle.
The five-year-old showed some creditable form for Mouse Morris as a novice in the Spring.
There should be plenty more to come from this pacey type who can triumph for his new yard.
KALAHARRY (2:10) can shade a fascinating novices’ handicap chase for Ewan Whillians.
The gelding won’t mind dropping back to 2m 4f after being chinned by Stop Talking at Bangor.
Mike Smith likes a winner at his local track so I’m rowing in with EAST HARLEM (2:45).
The gelding put in a career best over timber when third to Farocco over three miles at Perth.
The five-year-old looks open to progress as a stayer so he can make a winning handicap debut.
HEARTBREAK KID (3:15) can extend Donald McCain’s tremendous run in the handicap chase.
The gelding will be primed after his eye-catching comeback third to Cooper’s Cross at Sedgefield.
