Ayr's NAP of the Day Predictions

14:20 Ayr

Age:6
Weight:10-10
Form:63312
OR:107

9/10

This seventeen runner 3M 1/2F handicap hurdle can go to the Dan Skelton trained six year old who looks well treated off of 107. He followed up a 2M 1/2F handicap victory at Southwell by running his stable companion Gwennie May Boy to 1 3/4L at Bangor and that one has won twice since, including at Aintree last week and is now officially rated 24lb higher. Only 5lb higher now and with conditions looking ideal this can go some way to Dan Skelton’s efforts to fight back at Willie Mullins who leads him in the trainers championship.

5/1

Buckinghamshire based trainer Stuart Edmunds has his team in top form and took the Topham Handicap Chase last week with Arizona Cardinal. He looks to hold a decent each way chance here with his five year old gelding Bluegrass who impressed when winning a maiden hurdle at Fakenham last March having previously chased home a progressive horse in Jipcot at Huntingdon. He can be competitive in an open 2M class 3 handicap hurdle.

7/2

Dan Skelton’s eight year old arrives at the top of his game having won at Sandown and Market Rasen on his last two outings. He made most when an impressive 12L winner at the latter course last week and although he has to shoulder a 5lb penalty here actually goes up 9lb in future handicaps so is 4lb well in today. In a competitive handicap he should be thereabouts for his in form trainer.

7/4

His effort at Cheltenham when finishing a disappointing 12th of 21 in the Coral Cup came at a time when the Nicky Henderson horses were badly out of form and it will be no shock were he to bounce back to form here. Always highly thought of by his trainer who is now in a rich vein of form he can prove that with conditions to suit he is still a well handicapped horse.

4/1

Travels up from Somerset chasing a four timer having won at Leicester, Wetherby and Wincanton in the last five weeks. He’s officially 3lb well in today as he goes up 10lb in future handicaps but only has to carry a 7lb penalty for his victory in the latter and David Pipe’s six year old may have most to fear from Samuel Drinkwater’s Rath Gaul Hill who appeared to improve for dropping back to the minimum trip last time out at Newbury (7lb higher now).

11/4

The first of five races covered by ITV is the 2M 1/2F Scotty Brand Premier Handicap Chase with just six runners going to post. Paul Nicholls’s Sans Bruit did us a favour at Aintree when given a peach of a ride from the front by Bryony Frost who came home 4L to the good and despite a 10lb rise in the weights he may still be well handicapped on his back form in France. Expect Frost to employ the same tactics and if getting into a good rhythm will be tough to pass. Willie Mullins sends a formidable team to the West Scotland track and his Uncle Phil maybe the one to chase the selection home.

Thirteen face the judge for the class 2 3M Novices’ Champion Handicap Chase. Willie Mullins’s Sharjah heads the weights in his first handicap chase and shouldn’t be dismissed despite the big weight. Richard Bandey has his string in good form and he can take this with his MacLaine who looks favourably weighted towards the bottom of the weights. Formerly trained by Oliver Sherwood he’s shown promise for his new trainer with his latest victory at Newbury coming over the furthest trip he’s tried in his career over 2M 6 1/2F where he was strongest at the finish passing the line an eased down 3 1/2L ahead of his field. A rise of 8lb will make things tougher for him but with his stamina drawn out further he looks a good value each way bet in a competitive contest.

We have a good turnout of fifteen runners for the Coral Scottish Champion Hurdle which is a handicap run over a distance of two miles. Last year’s winner Rubaud heads the weights but is 13lb higher now than last year’s victory and has it to do. Willie Mullins has three stabs at the race with Paul Townend presumably choosing Bialystok over Westport Cove and Alvainy although he was 19L behind L’Eau Du Sud in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last time and I can’t see any reason why he would turn the form around despite a pull of just 3lb. Dan Skelton trains L’Eau Du Sud and he’s put up two excellent efforts in defeat in the Betfair Hurdle (2nd to Iberico Lord) and in the aforementioned County Hurdle (2nd to Absurde). A 3lb rise in the weights is unlikely to stop him from being highly competitive again and he is the one they all have to beat. Nicky Henderson has his string in great shape now and his First Street is worth a small each way saver. 8th in this last year he has a 20lb pull for 18L with the winner Rubaud and looked back to form when third to Lossiemouth in the Unibet Hurdle at Cheltenham when last seen in January. He’s also had a wind operation since last seen and can run well. A tough race but L’Eau du Sud is the selection.

Next up is a class 2 3M 70 yard mares’ handicap hurdle which has attracted a field of eleven. Willie Mullins saddles three here in his quest to maintain the advantage in the British jockeys championship and with A Penny A Hundred the pick of stable jockey Paul Townend she looks the one to be with. The lightly raced five year old is asking her handicap debut but has looked useful in winning a bumper and a novice hurdle before being placed in listed and grade three mares company. She was a 66-1 chance when not being disgraced in fourth (beaten 20L) in a grade one mares race won by the smart Jade De Grugy three weeks ago and a mark of 133 seems fair enough. The Dan Skelton runner Coco Mademoiselle (Chepstow novice hurdle winner last time) and Paul Nicholls’s Larchmont Lass look dangers but this can be one for the Irish maestro Willie Mullins.

8/1

A near maximum field of 26 line up for this year’s renewal of the 4M Coral Scottish Grand National. There’s plenty here who will struggle at the trip with five of the six Willie Mullins having stamina to prove with Mr Incredible the exception although he’s hardly had the best prep for this having unseated at the chair in last weekend’s Grand National. My short list include Sara Bradstock’s Mr Vango who stays so well having won the Devon National by a staggering 60L prior to a creditable third in the NH Chase at Cheltenham won by subsequent Grade 1 winner Corbetts Cross. He holds decent each way claims despite a 3lb rise. Out and out stayer My Silver Lining ran a stormer in the Midlands Grand National finishing third to the re-opposing pair of Beauport and Mr Incredible and can come out best of those who finished ahead of him over this 2F less distance. My main fancy though has to be the Jamie Snowden trained Git Maker who is stepping up in trip here but has always looked an out and out stayer throughout his career. He’s only gone up a pound for finishing runner up to the handicap blot that was Inotherwayurthinkin in the Kim Muir with 18L back to the third , the re-opposing Whacker Clan. The winner has gone on to win a grade 1 at Aintree to frank the form and had he not been in the race at Cheltenham we would be looking at a 18L winner of that race who would have gone up an awful lot more than 1lb. As long as he stays he looks easily the best handicapped horse in the field. I’ve managed to tip/back the Irish National and Grand National winners this year in Intense Raffles and I Am Maximus and my main pick for the Scottish version is Git Maker with each way savers on My Silver Lining and Mr Vango.
