2ND 3RD 4TH TIME RACE RESULT DISTANCES
Although BURNING IT UP could only must an eighth-placed finish behind reopposing rivals So Many Roads (first) and Velvet Vulcan (second) over C&D last month, he subsequently posted an improved effort when denied in the shadows of the post at Newcastle. The reapplication of cheekpieces could prove key to the six-year-old’s fortunes and he’s taken to gain some compensation. The Coffey Boy may fare best of the remainder.

TODAY’S JOCKEY TO WATCH - SEAN BOWEN
The current British champion continued to enhance his reputation in Ireland last weekend with a win, a second and two fourths from his 7 rides over the two days at Leopardstown and this season’s regular visitor to Ayr is back with 5 rides this afternoon. Bowen continues to raise the bar with his riding performances this season and his current winners total is around double that of second placed Harry Skelton, but the jockey craves big-race winners to add to his burgeoning career total and his regular mount, Haiti Couleurs, boosted his Cheltenham Gold Cup winning prospects with a power-packed display to win the Denman Chase at Newbury on Saturday
TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - GORDON ELLIOTT
Elliott’s form in Ireland this season has had many observers suggesting he could topple Willie Mullins as champion trainer but the 3-times Grand National winning handler continues to play down his prospects, despite the bookies having him as short as 2/1. Wins here at Ayr don’t count towards that total, of course, but Elliott’s current total of over 4million euros win and place prize money is some half a million more than his biggest rival Mullins after last weekend’s Dublin Racing Festival. Elliott’s British total is 19 winners from 76 runners coming into today’s fixture, with his 25% strike-rate topped by his 5-year rate at Ayr of 33% and the trainer has 4 runners today, all ridden by his main British riding ally, the current champion jockey Sean Bowen.

Gordon Elliott has already enjoyed plenty of success at Ayr this season and it would be no surprise to see Nopresentliketime going close on his hurdling debut. The six-year-old must enter the reckoning, along with easy Listowel bumper winner Apache Tribe, but GREEN ANGEL could put his experience in this discipline to good use. Stuart Crawford’s gelding offered plenty of encouragement on his fourth-placed timber bow over 2m1f at Down Royal on Boxing Day and this step up in trip looks ideal.

From The Clouds has shown promise on both of his starts over fences but could fare a little better down in class, whilst Kahavari took a step forward to finish a creditable second at Huntingdon latest. Gordon Elliott brings Big Stage across the Irish Sea in a bid to break his fencing duck, but it is DANCE THIEF that shades preference. Mike Smith’s gelding lost his way in the spring last term, but he did win this 12 months ago on the back of a similar absence and is still capable of better. totewin: Dance Thief toteeachway: From The Clouds
