Tips from Harry Wilson for Ayr and Newbury races on Friday from The Punt Acca
In the upcoming 3.05 race at Ayr, the spotlight will be on Beautiful Diamond, a horse with a strong connection to the track. Having won the Harry Roseberry Stakes there two years ago and dead-heating in June last year, Beautiful Diamond returns to Ayr with form figures reading 112, indicating two victories on her two visits.
However, Beautiful Diamond needs to bounce back from a poor run last time but is expected to do so as she is returning to a track she acts well at. Her form at Ayr is impressive, having won the 1m5f handicap there in 2022 and 2023.
Meanwhile, Valley Of Flowers, running in the 5.20 race at Ayr, is another contender to watch. Valley Of Flowers arrived off a higher mark than for either of her Ayr wins, indicating a strong performance could be on the cards. Her connection to Ayr is also noteworthy, as she won the 1m5f handicap at the track in 2022 and 2023.
Interestingly, Valley Of Flowers' last encounter with soft ground was at Carlisle in July, where she was beaten half a length. Given the conditions at Ayr are expected to be soft, Valley Of Flowers' performance on soft ground previously suggests she should handle the track well. Her Racing Post Rating was 81 on her sole turf start at Ffos Las in July.
Elsewhere, El Megeeth, trained by Karim El Zoghby, is running in the 4.40 race at Newbury. No prior context-specific facts were provided about El Megeeth.
In a notable development, Beautiful Diamond is eligible for exclusive new customer sign up offers, making her an attractive option for those looking to place a bet.
Lastly, it's worth mentioning that Beautiful Diamond's race is a Listed race, adding an extra layer of competition to the event. Valley Of Flowers, on the other hand, has not been mentioned as being eligible for such offers.
Valley Of Flowers is closely related to Tanaza, a dual Group 3 winner, and has a half-sister who is a winner as well. This pedigree could potentially give her an edge in the race, but only time will tell.
As always, it's important to remember that horse racing involves an element of unpredictability, and the outcome of the races will depend on various factors, including the horses' health, the jockeys' skills, and the conditions on the day.
