Horse Racing Tips: Crisford to score at Ayr with Dancer

Simon & Ed Crisford's Misty Dancer finally broke her maiden tag at the fourth time of asking last time out at Goodwood and the daughter of Dubawi will bid to follow up this afternoon in the 15:35 at Ayr, where she is currently a 2/1 favourite. Proving extremely popular with our racing tipsters, the three-year-old has been napped by five tipsters including the second placed Garry Owen from the Daily Record, and that charge looks tough to beat.

The Mick Easterby-trained Shimmering Sands has notched up two wins from his last three outings, and the in-form son of Teofilo will attempt to continue that fine run this afternoon in the 16:45 and the three-year-old is the best bet of Expert Eye, who currently sits top of the naps table with a profit of £49.46. A winner at Leicester last time off a mark of 67, the Easterby charge will have to defy a 5lb rise in this event, but has shaped like there could me more to come and at 2/1 is worth following.

The Kilkerran Cup Handicap at 15:00 is a hugely competitive punting puzzle to work out and Glendale from The Scotsman is one of two tipsters that have napped the 3/1 favourite Al Mubhir, who looks a major player, but Robin Goodfellow of The Daily Mail is bidding for a third winning nap on the spin and has opted to nap the Richard Spencer-trained Revich, who is around a 7/1 shot, at the time of writing.

Templegate from The Sun is the tipster in the best form heading into Thursday's action as the legendary tipster has notched up three winning naps on the spin and he heads to Pontefract's afternoon Flat card for his best bet of the day. Richard Fahey's once-raced Desert Games is the selection of Templegate, who will fancy the son of Kodiac to build on a decent third placed finish on debut and the exciting juvenile is a 6/4 chance to land the spoils today at 14:52.

Over at Chelmsford's evening fixture, Lambourn from the Racing Post is bidding for a hat-trick of winning selections and has napped the 12/1 chance May Sonic, who runs in the 19:00 contest and the Charles Hills-trained star will bid to defy top weight in what looks a tough test for the six-year-old, who won on the all-weather three times last year.

For those looking for some Racing League tips this evening, with the action all taking place in front of the ITV racing cameras, could well side with Melissa Jones' tip Blow Your Horn, who is a monster 22/1 shot for the 17:45 contest at Newcastle, while Rob Wright from the Times is looking to end the day on a winning note and he has napped up the 10/1 chance Muker in the 20:45 event.
