Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Kinbara Firstdraft shares the top rating of 92 with Gone With The Tide, but we prefer him on a progressive profile, a fitness edge and a more solid book of form, which counts for plenty over this 20 furlongs on good ground at Ayr. Gone With The Tide is the chief danger on equal figures, while Largy Meadow, three pounds back on 89, and Athair Mor, on 86, are also firmly in the picture in an open-looking Class 5. Kinbara Firstdraft looks the soundest option of the leading group, and he is our selection.

Ben Smith (7)
R. Mike Smith 0/10
Largy Meadow was second two starts back before a ninth last time out, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before, so he's a leading danger at 168 lb. The risk is a 157-day absence and a patchy record of one pull-up and one fall in his last five.

Ewan Whillans 0/13
Athair Mor arrives consistent, with a third last time out and four seconds before that, and he has run over today's trip and going before, so he is a serious threat off 165 lb after 32 days off. The main risk is that he remains without a win, having been beaten in each of his last five.

Derek Fox

Back quickly after a fifth last time out just six days ago, Kinbara Firstdraft has run over today's trip and going and was second three starts back, so he makes our selection on profile despite being winless in recent starts and carrying 165 lb.

Third last time out after 48 days off, and a winner four starts back, Beat The Retreat has run over today's trip and going, but a pulled up two starts back and a 160 lb burden temper the case, while our rating of 81 ranks him seventh of 11.

Callum Bewley
Ian Duncan 0/4
Jack Dempsey bounced back with a second last time out after 20 days off, and he has run over today's trip and going before, but he is yet to win in his last five starts and has finished ninth twice in that spell. Carrying 158 lb off 86, he looks a mid-pack type.

Danny McMenamin
Nicky Richards 4/15
Rickety Gate was fourth last time out, and he's had a fresh enough 20 days since, with experience over today's trip and going. Yet he's winless in his last five, with two sevenths and a pulled up in that run, and 154 lb off an official mark of 82 is no gift.

Conor Rabbitt (3)
William Young Jnr 0/1
Boston Queen is hard to fancy, pulled up last time out and again three starts back, with a sixth two starts back her best recent effort and no win in her last five starts. She has run on today's going and has had 38 days to recover, but 149 lb is a big burden for an official mark of 77.

Bruce Lynn
Catch Bissett 0/3
Bray Dale is winless in his last five, with two pulled-up efforts and an eighth in that run, so he is hard to fancy, though a fifth two starts back and a quick 11-day turnaround show some life. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 80 sits well above his official 70.

Dreamings Free is winless in his last five, with a seventh last time out and a ninth before that, and he returns after 116 days off. He has run on today's going and a third five starts back is his best recent effort, but he's hard to fancy off 142 lb.

Joe Williamson
Alison Hamilton 0/0
Our top-rated runner on the day, Gone With The Tide has run over today's trip and on this going, and 142 lb looks manageable off a mark of 69. The big risk is a poor profile: pulled up in four of his last five and absent for 176 days.

Lightly raced and yet to win, Brewdog showed a bit more when sixth last time out after an eighth and a ninth before that, and he returns after 157 days off with 142 lb, so there could be improvement for a still unexposed gelding.
