MAMMAS GIRL (3:40) can turn on the style for Richard Hannon in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. The filly showed a blistering turn of foot to hammer the talented Fairy Cross in the Nell Gwyn here. The three-year-old rates a sure-fire improver over a mile so she can extend her yard’s excellent run.

Charlie Appleby is also thriving so I’m backing ADAYAR (2:25) in the Gordon Richards Stakes. The 2021 Epsom Derby hero can deny some classy rivals on his eagerly-anticipated seasonal return.

FIRSTMAN (1:50) can land the odds for ultra-shrewd Tony Martin in the Howden Handicap. The gelding was a superb second to Okita Soushi on his last Flat outing on the Dundalk all-weather. The six-year-old is even better on Turf so he can score after a tune-up over timber at Leopardstown.

RUNNING LION (2:25) looks very dangerous for John Gosden in the Pretty Polly Stakes. The filly stayed upwardly mobile when slamming Dancing Goddess over a mile at Kempton. The grey was strong at the finish so she can add this Listed event to her CV up two furlongs.

PROSPEROUS VOYAGE (3:00) can cruise to victory for Ralph Beckett in the Dahlia Stakes. Last year’s 1000 Guineas second ran another blinder here when fourth in the Sun Chariot in October. The four-year-old should relish stepping up to 1m 1f so she can see off a decent field on her return.

Charlie Johnston’s GAREEB (4:50) looks a value bet in the trappy Howden Handicap. The filly improved for the step up to a mile when brushing aside Mystic Pearl at Southwell. The three-year-old was value for more than the half-length verdict so she can defy a 4lb rise.

BURJ MALINKA (1:30) can hit the heights on Dreammaker Foundation Raceday at Hamilton. Adrian Nicholls’ horse didn’t get home over six furlongs when sixth to Bay Breeze at Ripon. The speedster looks well-treated so he can power to his third course success back over five.

ZIMMERMAN (2:05) can top the charts for Tim Easterby in the Buttonhook Handicap.The four-year-old looked as good as ever when chinned by Chillingham on his return at Thirsk. The gelding will be primed so he can gain compensation for his in-form trainer back over 1m 6f.

Runners and riders at Ayr racecourse

CLANSMAN ( 3:10 ) can triumph for Liam Bailey in the competitive Lisa Todd Handicap. The five-year-old returned with a decisive defeat of the useful Captain Haddock at Doncaster. The gelding likes this venue so he can shrug off a reasonable 2lb hike for his skilled handler.

OBAMA ARMY ( 3:50 ) can extend Jack Channon’s winning run in the Robin Heath Handicap. The three-year-old improved again when an excellent second to Golden Maverick at Wetherby. The gelding remains nicely unexposed on Turf so he can go one better in another decent event.

WESTERNESSE (4:23 ) rates a typical David O’Meara improver in the Degan Handicap. The gelding was an excellent second to Mahanakhon on debut for his new trainer at Wetherby. The four-year-old still sits on an attractive mark so he can go one better under Danny Tudhope.

SLAINTE MHATH (4:58) can end the afternoon on a winning note for Katie Scott. Impressive at Redcar, the mare stayed on track with a fine second to Isle Of Dreams at Thirsk. The sprinter goes well here so she can take advantage of a workable mark in a weaker event.

Team Hannon’s SIR RUMI (2:40) can hit his rivals for six in the City Bowl at Salisbury. The five-year-old clearly relished returning to Turf when cosily defeating Flyin' Solo at Epsom. The gelding was staying-on very strongly late so he can defy a welter-burden back over 1m 6f.
