IN form jockey Paul Hanagan heads to Ayr tonight (Tuesday) with six booked rides for trainer Richard Fahey.
The former two time champion jockey rode three winners over the two days of Ayr's opening Flat fixture two weeks ago and one of his successes then was on the four year-old Hong Kong Harry who contests the Bet At racingtv.com Handicap tonight at 7.35pm.
The gelding has won three of his four starts and is still well handicapped off a BHA rating of 81. He won cosily last time which would indicate there is still plenty of improvement in him.
Corndavon Lad won an apprentice handicap on the same card on April 27 and will have Hanagan in the saddle this time as he goes for a quick follow up in the Supporting Mental Health Awareness Week #ConnectWithNature Handicap over a mile at 6.30pm. Another interesting contender in this is Royal Countess who won first time out at the track last season.
The card opens at 5.25pm with a one mile five furlongs handicap for lady amateur riders and the most experienced jockey in the line-up is Serena Brotherton who partners Scudamore for Ivan Furtado. This horse has only raced four times and won last time out on the all-weather at Southwell and should be capable of carrying top weight to victory.
Trainer Mark Johnston could finish the night strongly with recent course winner Dream With Me lining up in the Proudly Supporting Mental Health Awareness Week Handicap at 8.05pm and Puckle, who was second last time out, contesting the Racecourse Live Streams On RacingTV Extra Handicap which closes the night at 8.35pm. Both horses will be ridden by Joe Fanning.
