I’VE lost count of the number of track problems to emerge at Ayr over recent years, and we’ll know around lunchtime today if the William Hill Gold Cup meeting has been lost as well.

It will have cost them a packet, not to mention the loss of good will and prestige, and questions will need to be answered.

No problems at Newbury where SECOND THOUGHT (4.00) can overcome a long absence in the 7f Listed event.

Unbeaten in four all-weather starts, Second Thought was pitched into the deep end on his turf introduction, snatching the runner-up berth behind Harry Angel in the Group 3 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock in May. The track was riding very slick that day and William Haggas will be glad to see there is no rain forecast to hit Newbury.

Dream Of Dreams ran out an easy winner at Lingfield on Saturday and is clearly in good form. However, he will encounter faster conditions this afternoon.

WILD HACKED (2.55) should give us a good spin in the 1m 4f Dubai Duty Free Handicap.

Marco Botti’s gelding is better known for his all-weather exploits but was well supported to land an Ascot handicap back in May on quick ground. Unfortunately, Wild Hacked found himself trapped three wide almost throughout and faded into sixth behind Desert Encounter.

Wild Hacked didn’t stay 1m 6f in the Betfred Ebor Handicap at York but finished just ahead of today’s main rival Danehill Kodiac when running third to classy Chemical Charge in the September Stakes at Kempton. I’ve backed him ew at 5-1.

There’s not a bad card at Newcastle this evening where PADLEYOUROWNCANOE (6.15) is worth a bet in a modest 1m 4f handicap.

The gelding ran on well when only just denied over course and distance two weeks ago and races off the same mark. Again, for me, he’s an ew bet at 5-1.

Favourite Chilli Jam wasn’t penalised too harshly for landing a poor contest at Chelmsford City last time. The top weight did it well in the end after coming under pressure off the home bend and should cope with this first try at the longer distance.
