Ayr Tips: Hard not to agree with Ilikedwayurthinkin

There could be six of the best at Ayr on Wednesday, where they head out over the jumps between 12:45 and 15:25.

It is one of five meetings to highlight the middle of the week alongside the other jumps card at Bangor, while all-weather fans can follow the afternoon racing at Lingfield before switching to Southwell in the evening.

There is also AW interest at Dundalk, but the focus here is on Ayr and three selections, with a particular interest in Nicky Richards' stable. Below you can find my Ayr Tips for Wednesday, November 13.

13:45 - Summergrounds @ 7/2

SUMMERGROUNDS was third behind two subsequent winners at Kelso in October and this looks like a good chance to get back on the board by recording a first win since he shone at Market Rasen in June.

Trainer Nicky Richards is running a decent 33 per cent win rate for the last fortnight and has designs on this contest with his sole runner heading to Ayr.

Bathgate is one to watch after a C&D second when last seen tackling this 2m3½f trip in October but with form figures of 323, Summergrounds seems to be trending nicely and can return to the winner's circle.

14:15 - Ilikedwayurthinkin @ 1/1

The next race is a Handicap Hurdle over 3m and like-minded punters might take a shine to ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN.

Ben Haslam's charge was thwarted in a hat-trick bid when last seen at Cartmel in August and is sent north of the border after a break.

Those performances all came over a bit further but with an unchanged mark, so a slight drop back in distance might be what's needed to find that extra closing surge.

There may also be flexibility to follow in his price due to the presence of Nick Alexander's Arctic Row, who has figures of 91111 at this venue but has a habit of throwing in a howler, as he did in last month's seasonal reappearance at Perth when he unseated his rider at the first.

15:25 - Castle Carrock @ 5/6

Another Richards inmate gets the nod as the final tip from Ayr, with CASTLE CARROCK backed to win on his debut.

Out of a bumper winner and a close relation to a useful chase winner, he faces a field in mixed form, with previous point-to-point runner-up Shes All Pride the most interesting contender on her rules debut.

However, Castle Carrock is favoured for this Class 5, with Richards' string going well.

Rider Danny McMenamin also looks like a decent booking after his win for the trainer on Nells Son at Carlisle on Monday.
