The most valuable sprint handicap run in Europe, the Totesport Ayr Gold Cup is an annual cavalry charge over a straight six furlongs that has continually proved one of the hottest betting heats of the season.

The race is a fiendishly difficult puzzle to solve for those having a bet but the openness of the race is reflected in big odds offered about the leading contenders.

A maximum field of 28 runners (the majority carrying substantial betting interest), the effect of a high or low draw, and average winning odds in the last 10 years of around 18/1 would appear to give punters a real headache.#

However, trainer Dandy Nicholls has won four of the last seven runnings of the Ayr Gold Cup, a statistic that offers plenty of encouragement to those looking to bet on the Thirsk-based handicap sprint king.

Those looking for a bet should bear in mind that three-year-old's have a modest record in the race with only dual scorer Funfair Wane prevailing for the classic generation since 1995. Many will hold their bets until the earlier running of the consolation Silver Cup offers some clues as to the effect of the draw and will influence the betting.
