TODAY'S TIPS (TUESDAY)

It's all about Ayr this Tuesday as pundit Sam King heads to Scotland for his best bets. 15:08 AYR

The prospect of very testing conditions at Ayr will certainly play to the strengths of Tipsy Tiger, who might not have been at his best last time when fourth at Sandown but returns to a suitable assignment off a 2lb lower mark now. Both his career wins have come under very extreme conditions and he looks handicapped to strike again with Shane Gray in the saddle for the first time.

TIPSY TIGER (WIN)

16:08 AYR

Showtown looked like he was given plenty to do when runner-up at Thirsk last time out. He remains a maiden after twelve starts to date but there's definitely races to be won with him from around this mark, while these soft ground conditions ought to play to his strengths and the cheekpieces worn last time are retained. He's steadily been coming down the weights, and, as a result, he now gets the vote to shed the maiden tag dropped to Class 6 company for the first time.

SHOWTOWN (WIN)
