1.15 Ayr (9 runners)
EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
6

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here are the rankings of the horses in totals order:

1. Jehangeer (IRE) – 322.9
2. Desert Raider – 306.5
3. Nighteyes (IRE) – 262.5
4. Our Havana – 248.2
5. Swift Salian (IRE) – 240.8
6. Beyond Borders (IRE) – 103.9
7. A Girl Named Ivy (IRE) – 80.6
8. Elemental Eye – 60.1
9. Golden Trick (IRE) – 58.0

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

1. Jehangeer (IRE):
   Jehangeer is a Kodiac colt who showed promise on debut when finishing second in a C&D maiden. He was only beaten by Army Ethos, who went on to perform well in the Coventry Stakes. With that form looking strong, Jehangeer has obvious claims in this race.
2. Desert Raider:
   Desert Raider, an Advertise colt, had a clueless debut when finishing last of five at Carlisle. However, being a half-brother to several winners, including Dick Whittington and Winning Ways, there is a possibility for improvement. It would be wise to keep an eye on his performance in this race.
3. Nighteyes (IRE):
   Nighteyes is a Night of Thunder filly who finished seventh in a maiden at Doncaster on debut. As a half-sister to very smart sprinter Art Power, there is potential for progress. She could show improvement and be competitive in this race.
4. Our Havana:
   Our Havana, a Havana Gold colt, shaped as if needing the run in a 5f Redcar novice on debut. The form of that race has proven strong as the second-place horse went on to win the Windsor Castle. With that in mind, Our Havana is worth considering for a better performance in this race.
5. Swift Salian (IRE):
   Swift Salian finished sixth in a maiden at Thirsk on debut. As a closely related horse to Bay of Gibraltar and a half-brother to a winner in Doha, there is potential for progress. While the debut run was decent, more improvement may be needed to be a top contender.

Additional Considerations:
Beyond Borders (IRE) and A Girl Named Ivy (IRE) have limited information provided in the comments, but they are worth keeping an eye on as they have notable pedigrees and could show promise in this maiden race. Elemental Eye and Golden Trick (IRE) have little information available to assess their chances, but they should not be completely disregarded.

Special Mention:
Jehangeer (IRE) stands out as a horse with an exceptional chance based on the comments. His strong debut performance and the subsequent success of the horse he was runner-up to indicate that he could be the one to beat in this race.

1.50 Ayr (8 runners)
Unite The Union Celebrating Our Successes Handicap
5f 

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here are the rankings of the horses in totals order:

1. Strong Johnson (IRE) – 331.5
2. Kuwait City (IRE) – 328.5
3. Be Proud (IRE) – 315.7
4. Showalong – 314.9
5. Sir Titus (IRE) – 301.0
6. Sound Reason – 297.5
7. Resilience – 294.0
8. Jojo Rabbit – 284.3

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

1. Strong Johnson (IRE):
   Strong Johnson comes into this race with a promising run at Beverley, where he finished second in a handicap. While his 2022 campaign was not as successful, he showed that he can perform well on his return. Considering his previous form, he should be worth considering in this race.
2. Kuwait City (IRE):
   Kuwait City is the only 3-year-old in the lineup and showed improvement in a handicap at York, where he won by keeping on to lead close home. With a weight increase of 6 lbs, he remains fairly low-mileage and has possibilities in this race.
3. Be Proud (IRE):
   Be Proud is a previous C&D winner, but he has not won since 2022. He finished last in a handicap at Hamilton in his most recent outing. However, being a C&D winner, he cannot be completely discounted, but he needs to show more before becoming of interest.
4. Showalong:
   Showalong had a winless season last year but displayed promise on his reappearance and then won a handicap at Nottingham. With a weight reduction and scope for handicapping based on old form, he should be considered a player in this race.

Additional Considerations:
Sir Titus (IRE) has a decent rating but lacks specific comments to assess his chances accurately. However, based on his previous form, he should not be disregarded. Sound Reason and Resilience have not achieved as much as the top contenders, and Jojo Rabbit is coming off a fourth-place finish. They may have chances to perform well but may require further improvement to be considered strong contenders.

Special Mention:
Based on the comments, Showalong stands out as a horse with an exceptional chance in this race. With a win on his reappearance and a subsequent handicap victory, along with a weight reduction and potential assistance from rain, Showalong should be viewed as a top contender.

2.24 Ayr (9 runners)
Bridgend Motor Group Handicap
7½f

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here are the rankings of the horses in totals order:

1. Caesars Pearl (IRE) – 353.9
2. B Associates (IRE) – 350.7
3. Run Cmc (IRE) – 323.4
4. Honour Your Dreams (FR) – 315.3
5. Dee See Are – 259.5
6. Wurkin Ninetofive (IRE) – 249.7
7. Slippin Jimmy (IRE) – 248.9
8. Yorkstone – 218.8
9. Mister Sox – 204.4

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

1. Caesars Pearl (IRE):
   Caesars Pearl comes into this race off a career-best win in a 10-runner handicap at Pontefract. Being better placed than most in that race and with an increase in trip, Caesars Pearl should be considered a strong contender.
2. B Associates (IRE):
   B Associates has had a successful year, with three wins from six runs. He finished second in a handicap at Doncaster in his most recent outing and is now back up in trip. With his recent form, B Associates should not be taken lightly.
3. Run Cmc (IRE):
   Run Cmc put in a good second-place finish in a handicap at Wetherby. With that performance, he has shown his ability and should be viewed as a player in this race.
4. Honour Your Dreams (FR):
   Honour Your Dreams is a course winner, but he had a slightly below-par performance in a handicap at Hamilton. However, with cheekpieces on for the first time, he could bounce back and shouldn’t be dismissed entirely.

Additional Considerations:
Dee See Are and Wurkin Ninetofive (IRE) have ratings that place them in the middle of the field, but their comments indicate some struggles and difficult tasks ahead. Slippin Jimmy (IRE), Yorkstone, and Mister Sox have not achieved much in recent races and may not be strong contenders.

Special Mention:
Based on the comments, Caesars Pearl (IRE) stands out as a horse with an exceptional chance in this race. Coming off a career-best win and being better placed than most in that race, Caesars Pearl is in good form and should be viewed as a top contender.

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here are the rankings of the horses in totals order:

1. Euchen Glen – 449.5

3. Its Good To Laugh (IRE) – 385.2
4. Sir Chauvelin – 384.3
5. Scampi – 373.9

9. Nolton Cross (IRE) – 328.9
10. Haliphon – 297.9
11. Oriental Lilly – 228.0

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

1. Euchen Glen:
   Euchen Glen is a four-time course winner and, despite being a bit below form in his last outing, he has a strong track record. With the ability to stay competitive if on-song, Euchen Glen should be considered a threat.
2. Kihavah:
   Kihavah is in great form, with two wins from four runs this year. He’s coming off a career-best win in a 15-runner handicap at York and looks to be in excellent shape. Kihavah is a big player in this race.
3. Its Good To Laugh (IRE):
   Its Good To Laugh put in a good third-place finish in a handicap at Chester and is now back down in trip. With the addition of a tongue strap for the first time, he shouldn’t be overlooked and has each-way hope.
4. Sir Chauvelin:
   Sir Chauvelin is a C&D winner and had a creditable third-place finish in a handicap at Newcastle. Although he’s been off for seven months, if he’s ready to roll, he has a live each-way chance.

Additional Considerations:
Scampi and Dark Jedi have comments that suggest each-way claims and shouldn’t be disregarded. Prydwen and Emiyn have shown some creditable performances but may find a few others too good. Nolton Cross, Haliphon, and Oriental Lilly have not achieved much recently and may struggle in this race.

Special Mention:
Based on the comments and his impressive form, Kihavah stands out as a horse with an exceptional chance in this race. With two wins from four runs this year, including a comfortable victory in a 15-runner handicap at York, Kihavah has proven his ability and should be viewed as a top contender.

EBF Land OBurns Fillies Stakes (Fillies And Mares Listed)
5f 

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here are the rankings of the horses in totals order:

1. Royal Aclaim (IRE) – 532.2
2. Treasure Trove (IRE) – 497.7
3. Funny Story – 455.2
4. Loch Carron (IRE) – 427.7
5. Makarova – 417.1
6. Nymphadora – 407.9
7. Silent Words – 398.0
8. Marine Wave (IRE) – 394.7
9. Minnetonka (IRE) – 354.9
10. Designer – 353.2

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

1. Royal Aclaim (IRE):
   Royal Aclaim is a smart filly who finished seventh in the Temple Stakes at Haydock in her last outing. With the addition of cheekpieces for the first time, she has a good chance if she can bounce back from that effort.
2. Treasure Trove (IRE):
   Treasure Trove is a useful filly coming off a respectable third-place finish in a listed race at Cork. With that performance, she deserves to be shortlisted and has an opportunity to contend in this race.
3. Funny Story:
   Funny Story is a useful filly who won an 8-runner handicap at Nottingham in her last race. Stepping back up in grade, she should not be discounted and could be a factor in this race.
4. Loch Carron (IRE):
   Loch Carron had an easy win in an 8-runner maiden at this course in her first run since moving stables. However, this race demands a lot more from her, and she faces a tougher challenge.

Additional Considerations:
Makarova and Nymphadora are both described as useful fillies and have shown good form in recent races. They have the potential to be in the mix again and should be considered in the analysis. Silent Words and Marine Wave have creditable performances in listed races but will need to step up significantly to be competitive in this field. Minnetonka and Designer have comments suggesting they need to bounce back and are not the top contenders based on the ratings.

Special Mention:
Among the top contenders, Royal Aclaim stands out as a horse with an exceptional chance. Despite a below-par performance in her last race, she has shown her quality in the past and could bounce back with the addition of cheekpieces. If she shrugs off her latest effort, she has a good chance of performing well in this race.

13. The Caltonian – 218.3

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

1. Novak:
   Novak is a course winner and is coming off a career-best performance, winning a 6-runner handicap at Hamilton. With a fair 4 lb rise in the weights, this hat-trick seeker has a good chance in this race.
2. One Last Hug:
   One Last Hug is a C&D winner and finished as a good second in a handicap race at this course in the last outing. With a running-on performance, they are not without each-way hope in this race.
3. Cold Stare (IRE):
   Cold Stare is a C&D winner and had a creditable second-place finish in a heavy ground handicap at Leicester. The ideal conditions for them would be with rain, but they can still be considered as a contender.
4. Huddle Up (IRE):
   Huddle Up had a respectable third-place finish in a handicap at Carlisle. With a slight 1 lb lower mark, they can make their presence felt in this race.

Additional Considerations:
Papa Cocktail (IRE) is a three-time winner this year but finished poorly in a handicap race at Beverley. If they can bounce back from that effort, they have a chance to be competitive in this field. Newyorkstateofmind won a five-runner handicap at Hamilton but may find one or two too good in this race. Golden Apollo is a C&D winner but hasn’t shown top form recently, so they may struggle here. Slainte Mhath and Summer Sands have comments suggesting they need to improve significantly to be competitive.

Special Mention:
Novak stands out as a horse with an exceptional chance based on the comments. Coming off a career-best win and aiming for a hat-trick, Novak has the potential to perform well in this race and should be considered as a strong contender.

Book Bounce Bingo At Ayr Racecourse
Classified Stakes
7½f 

Based on the provided Timewise ratings, here are the rankings of the horses in totals order:

1. Retirement Beckons – 293.8
2. Willing To Please – 271.4
3. Bonito Cavalo – 251.0
4. Jkr Cobbler (IRE) – 250.7
5. Darker – 221.3
6. Sams Call – 208.9
7. The Camacho Kid (IRE) – 199.3
8. Depart A Minuit – 198.6
9. Must Catch Up – 196.5
10. Nodsasgoodasawink – 193.6
11. Clarinbridge (IRE) – 193.0
12. Hollis Brown – 182.2

Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:

1. Retirement Beckons:
   Retirement Beckons is a modest gelding and his latest win came at this course in June. However, in the last outing, he finished last of 9 in a minor event at Hamilton. Back down in trip, it’s hard to rely on him, but his previous success at this track gives him some consideration.
2. Willing To Please:
   Willing To Please is a modest mare who has been out of the winner’s circle for twelve runs. In the last outing, she finished last of 6 in a handicap at Carlisle and seemed amiss. Prior to that, she had shown good form, so there’s a chance she could bounce back.
3. Bonito Cavalo:
   Bonito Cavalo is a modest gelding who finished third in a handicap at Hamilton in the last race. While the trip is unknown, he arrives in good order and deserves respect.
4. Jkr Cobbler (IRE):
   Jkr Cobbler is a modest gelding who finished third in a handicap at this course over the same distance. He should give another good account, but everything needs to drop right for him to be competitive.

Additional Considerations:
Darker had a respectable sixth-place finish in a handicap at Newcastle and is back up in trip, but not strongly considered. Depart A Minuit finished eleventh in a handicap at Wolverhampton and is hard to make a case for. Hollis Brown finished seventh in a handicap at Musselburgh and has plenty to find on form. Nodsasgoodasawink is a poor mare who is significantly up in trip, making it an uphill task for her. Sam’s Call finished fifth in a handicap at Nottingham and the return to this trip could help, but not a strong contender. Must Catch Up finished sixth in a handicap at Ripon and is not on the shortlist. The Camacho Kid finished seventh in a handicap at Doncaster and others are more appealing.

Special Mention:
Willing To Please stands out as a horse with an exceptional chance based on the comments. Despite her last poor outing, she had shown good form prior to that, and if she can bounce back, she could be a strong contender in this race.

Please note that this analysis is based on the provided ratings and comments. Horse racing outcomes are unpredictable, and other factors such as recent form, jockey/trainer performance, and track conditions can also influence the result of the race.
