Dave Nevison: my best three bets for Ayr on Thursday

By Dave Nevison
Last Updated: Fri 14 Jul 2023
Betting expert Dave Nevison's fancies at Ayr on Thursday include a runner who landed a gamble last time. Watch how they fare live on Racing TV.
Donald McCain’s seven-year-old will make plenty of appeal provided the ground does not deteriorate.
Sullivan’s Brow won at Uttoxeter last season, battling on well under Thursday’s claimer to get up narrowly in a modest event. He then went on to Doncaster but disappointed on much softer ground.
I thought he reappeared in a much more competitive event than this one last time and ran a promising enough race. This looks a weak affair and he is lightly raced and might have improvement in him.
Has been placed over hurdles off a mark of 117 but already looks to be a better chaser, so even though he has gone up noticeably in the weights for his two recent wins he still looks more than capable of winning again off 110 here.
His style of racing - usually up with pace - looks set to stand him in good stead around this course and if he gets into the same rhythm with his jumping he is more than capable of holding his own in this higher grade. I have done well out of Patrick Wadge this year and the young conditional has struck up a strong partnership with Return Fire. They can click together for a third time.
Trainer Russell Ross told us more about Lisloran after his victory at Ayr last time
Those who took part on the gamble on Lisloran last time were obviously confident that he was well in off a mark of 83, despite the fact he hadn’t set the world on fire on his chase debut. He had never previously gone off at an SP shorter than 50-1 but he started at 100-30 last time and rallied to win by half a length.
A rise of 6lb for that narrow success is stiff on the face of it but the money for him last time suggests otherwise. Only six, he very likely has improvement in him – he’s well-related to useful chasers - and he should have this run to suit.

Causeway emulates Paddington with Madrid success for Aidan O'Brien at Naas | Racing TV

Causeway showed strength at the finish to follow in the hoofprints of Paddington in the Irish Racing Writers Association Madrid Handicap as Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore enjoyed a treble at Naas. The Wootton Bassett colt raced in midfield after a slow break, but began to make headway and laid down his challenge at the furlong marker as Moore kept the 13-8 favourite up to his work to hold off Controlled by a head. The race was won by fellow O’Brien inmate Paddington in 2023 before he went on to win the Irish Guineas, St James’s Palace Stakes, Eclipse and Sussex Stakes in an incredible winning streak. “He was tough and he learned a lot,” said O’Brien. “He took a run last year, he was a little bit lazy. He’ll obviously stay a lot further. Ryan was good on him. “I think he’ll be very comfortable going a mile and could get further. He’s brave, he stuck his head out. “He can go into a winners’ race now and we’ll go gentle with him and let him mature away. “We’ll see how he progresses, there are other horses there for the Classics at the moment.” #horseracing Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!

Scholfield enjoys "magic day" with Queenie St Clair | Full Races | 2026 | Racing TV

First-season trainer Nick Scholfield landed the most valuable success of his career to date when Queenie St Claircaused a 20-1 surprise in the BetWright Herring Queen Series Final Mares’ Novices’ Handicap Hurdle at Kelso. With almost £100,000 in prize-money on offer, the race had attracted Nicky Henderson’s hot favourite Khrisma, who had been aimed at the Cheltenham Festival’s County Hurdle only to miss the cut. She was still bang in contention when making a bad blunder at the second last and she was pulled up soon after, leaving Queenie St Clair in front to fight it out with Dan Skelton’s First Candidate. With 5lb conditional jockey Freddie Keighley seen to great effect, she fended off her challenger to win by a length with the pair five lengths clear of Madame La Papillon back in third. “It’s a magic day, to be honest,” said Scholfield. “It’s been a long-term plan since she won at Wincanton on Boxing Day and we got her qualified at Newbury. It slightly didn’t go to plan when Sean Bowen won on her by 17 lengths at Fontwell and I thought our chance might be gone but thankfully she was still good enough..” Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!
