Ayr Place 6 Preview | 13th November

Largely consistent over hurdles, STEP OUT should go well on his chase debut, with Danny Mullins booked to ride. KANDOR was well beaten last time out but should do better in this sphere and is feared most ahead of IMMORTAL FLAME.

Tips: STEP OUT, KANDOR, IMMORTAL FLAME

13.15 Virgin Bet Novices’ Hurdle

EVALUATION is a very useful handicapper on the Flat and has predominantly been performing well in some stiff tasks in that sphere. On the back of wind surgery, he’s a major player on hurdle debut, while GORVENNEC is another to consider on his first go over timber.

Tips: EVALUATION, GORVENNEC

13.45 Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back Handicap Hurdle

BATHGATE posted a very good effort when runner-up over C&D last month, and a reproduction of that performance could see him go one place better. The hat trick-seeking BALRANALD can also have a major say in the outcome and is the clear alternative.

Tips: BATHGATE, BALRANALD

14.15 Virgin Bet Daily Extra Places Handicap Chase

NO REGRETS is only 4lb above his last winning mark and must be respected, but ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN was third in a stronger race than this last time out and is probably the one to beat. Four-time course winner ARTIC ROW just loves it at this venue, though, and is dangerous to rule out.

Tips: NO REGRETS, ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN, ARTIC ROW

14.50 LiveScore Bet Daily Price Boosts Handicap Hurdle

FOUROFAKIND has been in really good form this summer, recording back-to-back wins at Perth before finishing fourth in a much better race than this at Carlisle 10 days ago. The way he travelled into the race was eye-catching, so he’s a serious contender now dropped in grade.

Tips: FOUROFAKIND

15.25 LiveScore Bet Open NH Flat Race 

CASTLE CARROCK appeals on paper and represents a stable who does well with bumper debutants. Of his competition, SHES ALL PRIDE is nominated as the cover option, given his stable has had bumper winners in the past.

Tips: CASTLE CARROCK, SHES ALL PRIDE
