2:55 Ayr – Higher Kingdom
Steve Harrington; Senior Tipster at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
A familiar face in Irish handicaps, Higher Kingdom has yet to shed his maiden tag on turf, but the drop into a 0-50 classified event provides a significant opportunity. Despite a lengthy losing sequence, his recent performances suggest he’s been running better than bare results show. Third at both Gowran Park and Cork in April, he came within a length and a half of victory in stronger company than he faces here.
Trainer Adrian McGuinness is known for travelling his horses when there’s a winnable target, and although the yard’s recent strike rate is modest, this particular horse looks ideally placed from a weights perspective. Adam Caffrey takes the reins and is no stranger to getting the best from tough campaigners like this. The key here is opposition quality — or lack thereof. Most rivals here are either out of form or tackling this grade for the first time, while Higher Kingdom is proven competitive at this class level in Ireland.
His ability to stay the mile is unquestioned, and any further easing in ground would work in his favour. Considering the overall profile of this race, it’s difficult to ignore a runner with form figures and ratings that suggest he’s been contesting at a far higher standard. If he travels over well, expect a strong late charge that could finally see his long wait for a turf win end.

3:30 Ayr – Eve’s Boy
Herrin Kendrick; Racing Analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Eve’s Boy returns to Ayr, the scene of his most impressive juvenile victory, and connections will be hopeful he can reproduce similar form now stepped up to a mile for the first time. Trained by Michael Dods, whose yard has been operating with a fair degree of consistency, this three-year-old looks ready to peak after two encouraging efforts in stronger company this season.
His recent fourth-place finish at Doncaster came in a well-run seven-furlong contest, where he travelled strongly but found himself short of room when it mattered most. A step up to a mile looks tailor-made based on how he’s been finishing his races. Jockey Sean Kirrane, who has been riding at a 14% strike rate over the past fortnight, is a positive booking, particularly as he’s got previous experience on this gelding.
This contest lacks depth, and the likely absence of early pace should favour Eve’s Boy, who tends to race handily and will relish the long straight. He holds a respectable BettingTips4You Rating of 94, which places him right among the leading contenders. With a clear run and conditions to suit, he’s got a solid chance of building on his previous success at this track and regaining the winning thread at a fair price.
4:20 Market Rasen – Nickelforce
Gram Dodd; Feature Writer at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Still searching for his first win of the campaign, Nickelforce comes into this Market Rasen chase with a strong chance to put things right. His two efforts at Stratford in May were both full of promise, finishing second and third respectively in small fields, and crucially, he was behind a subsequent winner last time after enduring a less-than-ideal passage.
This six-year-old has been steadily progressive in the handicap ranks and remains on a fair mark of 110, having not been raised for either of those recent efforts. With trip and ground identical to his back-to-back victories last season, today’s setup looks very favourable. Jockey Jack Quinlan, riding at a 33% strike rate this month, is reunited with Nickelforce and will know exactly when to press the button.
What’s especially encouraging is the strong BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 135, which reflects his ability to operate consistently at this level. In a field where many runners have doubts over recent form or jumping reliability, Nickelforce’s consistency becomes all the more appealing. His strong-travelling style should suit Market Rasen’s layout, and if he can stay in touch heading into the straight, he should be able to assert himself when it counts.
4:55 Market Rasen – La Quarite
John Pentin; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Trainer Mickey Bowen has wasted no time stepping up La Quarite in distance, and that decision looks a shrewd move based on how this mare shaped last time out. Her two runs since joining the stable have come over much shorter trips, but both saw her stay on strongly, especially when third at Stratford, where she was left behind early but clawed her way back into the places with a determined late run.
That performance screamed of a horse needing more of a stamina test, and at three miles, she finally gets a chance to show what she can really do. She’s from a family that includes winners over similar distances, and the way she rallied in her most recent outing suggests there’s plenty of untapped staying potential. Jockey Sean Bowen, who continues to ride with confidence and purpose, is a huge asset in these types of contests.
From a handicap perspective, she looks well-in at a mark of 81, especially considering this is only her third run for the yard. The smaller field should suit her running style, and she can be delivered late in the day with a strong gallop likely to expose weaker finishers. If she handles the rise in trip, she could easily outstay her rivals.Despite the quality of opposition, he holds all the aces—distance, track, form, and rating. Backing up a Royal Ascot Group 1 with another win is never easy, but this horse appears to be built for it. If he turns up in the same form, it’ll take a serious effort to stop him.
