4.45pm Ayr Tips & Betting Preview 22/05/2018

Saryshagann had some useful form to his name when trained by Jean-Claude Rouget in France and although this is by no means an excessive opening handicap mark for him, he has not been seen for 743-days. RED PIKE is on a lengthy losing run but showed signs that he was ready for a return to the winner’s enclosure last summer. His latest run at Ripon is likely to have blown away the cobwebs and this looks like a winnable race for him. Of the remainder, Dark Defender could be the one to follow him home on a track he runs well at, but his record on Good To Firm ground is now 0-7.
