Free Horse Racing Tip For Ayr Gold Cup

Saturday’s Ayr Gold Cup is the focus of our free horse racing tip this week. The obvious form horse is the Richard Fahey inmate Growl who has threatened to win a big prize all season but Graham Lee’s mount may have his work cut out from stall six so at the 20-1 generally available the other contender who takes the eye is Final Venture – another drawn high in stall 20.

This front-runner should take some pegging back if bagging the rails position although Alan Swinbank’s fast improver may fail to withstand the challenge of racing tip Poyle Vinnie in the closing stages.

The Michael Appleby-trained Poyle Vinnie found only the classy Don’t Touch a half length too good in the William Hill Ayr Gold Cup twelve months ago and the mount of Andrew Mullen looks the value bet for Saturday’s valuable sprint handicap at the 25-1 available with Betfair Sportsbook ( 5 places ).

The son of Piccolo was trying to give the winner 4lb last year but runs off a 4lb lower mark on this occasion and may have been fortunate in being handed a high draw in stall 23 of 25, with the consensus of opinion favouring those berthed near the stand side rail.

The expected soft ground should hold no fears for the six-year-old who ran out an impressive winner of Hamilton’s John Smith’s Scottish Stewards’ Cup last year and runs off the back of his best effort of the present campaign when beaten just over a length in third place at Chester last month despite being slowly away – normally impossible to recover from over that sharp five furlong trip.
