APRIL DIAMOND: Following its run on 20/4/2026 it was reported that the horse was slowly away
Probable S.P’s: 4-6 Railwayman (IRE), 7-2 Stoneacre Joe (GB), 11-2 Mind Over Matter (IRE), 50-1 Le Puy (GB), 100-1 Thistle Nil (IRE), April Diamond (IRE), 300-1 Mac’s Wee Sister (GB), Saxon Gem (IRE), Wee Dresser (GB)
Having belied his odds of 100/1 when runner-up at Doncaster recently, Stoneacre Joe shouldn’t be underestimated. Tim Easterby’s charge is heading in the right direction and isn’t taken lightly, but RAILWAYMAN may be open to more improvement. The Blue Point colt arrives on the back of a third-placed debut at Leicester and that experience should stand him in good stead. Mind Over Matter could also feature judged on the pick of his form.

GREAT BRITISH BONUS SCHEME

The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British.

TODAY’S JOCKEY TO WATCH - PAUL MULRENNAN
Mulrennan rides mainly for Jim Goldie and Michael Dods these days and last season’s champion Flat jockey at Ayr is back for our first meeting of the season with 5 rides split between both of those leading trainers. The rider had 3 rides at Hamilton on Sunday before 5 more yesterday at Beverley and the jockey’s current form was confirmed by last week’s winning haul including one each at Musselburgh and Southwell on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by a Friday double at another of his favourite venues at Newcastle. Paul’s rides today include Tap Dancer in the 3.30, a new horse for both the trainer and last season’s hugely successful Ayr Racecourse Members Club which has arrived from Marcus Tregoning’s yard. The 4 year-old filly was a 2 yearold novice winner at Bath and her opening mark of 70 with Tregoning has now dropped to 62.

TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - JIM GOLDIE
Uplawmoor-based Jim was Ayr’s champion Flat trainer again in 2025 and the prolific winning handler gets our new season underway today by sending 15 horses to contest all 7 races on the card. The Goldie team made a major breakthrough in 2025 by saddling a first ever Group 1 winner when American Affair won the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot. The yard’s new stable-star wasn’t seen again last year after a sight injury problem but he’s back in full training and completed a public racecourse gallop at Musselburgh last month. Goldie saddled 8 horses at Hamilton on Sunday before loading up the lorries for Ayr and his multitude of runners allows plenty of opportunities for his number one rider Paul Mulrennan, as well as the apprentices Lauren Young, Amie Waugh and Rhys Elliott.

Ashen has posted two creditable efforts in defeat since returning from a 104-day absence and he’s likely to prove popular given the question marks surrounding most of his rivals. However, it could be worth taking a punt on C&D winner COCONUT BAY, who has fallen down the ratings and may leave last month’s eighth-placed seasonal bow at Catterick behind her. Jkr Cobbler is a feasible alternative.

Irish raider LAND OF THE GIANTS is very interesting in here on the back of an improved effort at Cork 11 days ago. He kept on well inside the furlong that day when only going down by a neck into second and a press of the repeat button might be all he needs. Of the others, keep a close eye on course scorer Dingwall and the returning Uncle Liam. totewin: Land Of The Giants

THE GAY BLADE is in really good nick at the moment and is hard to oppose. His solid all-weather form was transferred to the turf when he finished a neck second at Musselburgh last week and, assuming he’ll cope with the quick turnaround, everything points to another bold showing.

TUPERO wasn’t at his best at Southwell last week but was in good form before that as he supplemented an all-weather success at Newcastle with a solid second-placed effort on the grass at Catterick. Stretching back out in trip, it could be worth giving this lightly-raced gelding another chance. Grey Fable and C&D winner Aighear are the ones expected to put up the most resistance. totewin: Tupero
