Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Ginger Mail No. 4
Bruce Lynn · N. W. Alexander
✓ Top rated ✓ Course & distance winner ✓ Back from a 197-day break
Ginger Mail heads our figures at Ayr on a rating of 123, which puts him three pounds better than Liberty Coach and a good ten clear of Inappropriate, a useful edge in a Class 4 over two miles on good to soft. Liberty Coach is the main danger and sits close enough to make this a tight call, while Inappropriate and Vampire Slayer also need respecting if they handle the ground. With a big field of eleven and the top two so close together, this is no formality, but Ginger Mail has the best figures and gets the vote.

Sean Quinlan
Ewan Whillans 1/8
Fourth last time out, and a winner two starts back, Inappropriate is fit after 18 days and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 113 ranks him third of eleven. The main risk is the 169 lb he must carry off an official mark of 111.

Vampire Slayer arrives in cracking form, second last time out, third two starts back and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before after a 23-day break. The main risk is the 166 lb he must carry, a hefty burden.

Liberty Coach arrives on the back of two thirds, finishing third last time out and third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip; our rating of 120 ranks him second of 11. The main risk is a 121-day absence, with 164 lb to carry too.

Bruce Lynn
N. W. Alexander 0/10
Ginger Mail is the one to beat on our figures, having been third three starts back and unplaced-two-starts-back form aside, he has run over today's trip and on this going before. A 197-day break and a pulled-up latest are worries, but our rating of 123 is well clear of his official 106.

Jonathon Bewley
George Bewley 1/5
Dee's Getaway won two starts back but was seventh last time out, and she returns after 201 days off, so fitness is a question; she has run over today's trip and going, though 162 lb is a hefty burden for a mid-ranked runner.

Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore 7/30
She's Notjoeking arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and again four starts back, with a second and a third in between, and a fresh 16 days since her last run. She has run over today's trip and going, but a weight of 161 lb and a seventh-place ranking in our ratings suggest a bit to prove.

Pure Gold is consistent without being able to land a race, finishing third twice and fourth three times in her last six starts, though she was sixth last time out after 38 days off. She has run over today's trip and going, but 159 lb is a hefty burden.

Conor Rabbitt (3)
Andrew Hamilton 0/1
El Jefe was pulled up last time out and is winless in his last five, with a fourth, a sixth and another fourth before that, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, though, and our figures rank him eighth of 11 despite his 157 lb burden.

Gordon Elliott 6/36
Winless in her last five, Clanokre Lass was unplaced last time out and has been out for 42 days, though a third two starts back is a flicker of promise. She has run over today's trip, but 156 lb and a ranking of tenth of eleven on our figures make her hard to fancy.

Patrick Wadge
Sandy Thomson 1/5
Dancing Fruits returns after 176 days off, having finished sixth last time out, a seventh two starts back and a fifth three starts back, and he is yet to win in that spell. He is lightly raced on the evidence here, so improvement is possible, though he carries 155 lb off an official mark of 97.

Jolyjump is winless in his last four, with a ninth last time out and an eighth two starts back following a second four starts back, so the trend is the wrong way. He has run over today's trip and going, but 153 lb after 37 days off makes him hard to fancy.
