Timeform recommend three tips for Sunday's racing

The racing experts at Timeform have studied the cards at Ayr and Southwell to come up with three selections to back on Sunday...


15:15 Ayr - Altareq can get off mark back up in trip

Still lightly raced, Altareq has caught the eye on more than one occasion since joining Jim Goldie this year and he looks to have been found a good opportunity to get his head in front for the first time.

He'd been contesting higher-grade handicaps prior to his latest start when shaping well in a never-nearer third in the Carlisle Bell, earning the 'Horse In Focus' and 'Sectional Timing' flags.

Giving weight to lesser rivals here, Altareq looks on a good mark heading the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings, and the return to a mile and a quarter will also suit him.


16:15 Southwell - Kylian becoming well handicapped

Kylian was a listed winner in Germany last year when trained by Archie Watson and is becoming a dangerously well-handicapped sprinter this season for Robert Cowell.

He hasn't troubled the judge since finishing third in a well-contested race at Leicester in April, but things haven't always gone his way since, including last time in the Gosforth Park Cup at Newcastle.

With blinkers replacing the cheekpieces he'd worn previously this year, Kylian finished with running left after being denied a run and was only beaten a couple of lengths in eighth, earning the 'Horse In Focus' flag.


17:00 Ayr - Dwindling Funds can notch sixth course win

Jim Goldie has a good chance of further success later on Ayr's card with Dwindling Funds who heads the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings by 3 lb off bottom weight in the mile handicap.

He had a remarkable campaign last year, when five of his six wins came at Ayr, a record which earns him the 'Horses For Courses' flag.

Dwindling Funds ran his best race when going down by a neck to unexposed three-year-old Haayimm at Musselburgh on Tuesday, and as the sort who thrives on his racing, he looks sure to make another bold bid.
