Our experts give their best tips on Bronze Cup day at Ayr

Newmarket: David Milnes

Altra Vita (5.50 Newcastle, nap)

Handled the step up to today's trip of two miles when scoring at Ffos Las last Sunday. The bottomweight is fancied to defy a 6lb penalty.

Others to follow
Ayr 3.35 Beauty Filly.
Newbury 1.10 True Hero, 1.45 Aplomb, 2.20 Alternative Fact, 2.50 Deira Surprise, 3.25 Raakib Alhawa, 3.55 Red Mist, 4.30 Ice Gala, 5.05 Gododdin.

North: Colin Russell

Dalton (4.10 Ayr, nap)

Progressive sprinter who has won two of his four races this season and put up a career best when second in a strong race at Thirsk last time. Breeding suggests the ground will be ideal and another good run is on the cards.

Others to follow
Ayr 1.30 Archies Lad, 2.00 Five Amarones, 2.30 Lightning Attack, 3.05 Golden Circle, 3.35 Intense Romance, 4.45 Arrowtown, 5.20 Gallus.

Lambourn: James Burn

Nebo (3.55 Newbury, nap)

Three-year-old did not fire earlier in the season, but shaped encouragingly on his comeback at York last month and has saved his best performances for this venue. Any rain will boost his chances considerably.

Others to follow
Ayr 2.30 Glorious Charmer, 3.05 Dave Dexter.
Newbury 1.10 Tanqeeb, 1.45 Breath Of Air, 2.20 Not So Sleepy, 3.25 Beat Le Bon, 4.30 Rhossili Down, 5.05 Medieval.
Newcastle 6.50 Victoriano, 7.20 Hula Girl, 7.50 Warmhearted, 8.20 Suppressor.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Western Sunrise (4.55 Newton Abbot, nap)

Early casualty last time but knocking on the door previously, including over course-and-distance. Looks to have been found an inviting opportunity to add to her sole success.

Others to follow
Newbury 2.50 Sufficient, 5.05 Dream Machine.
Newton Abbot 2.10 Quite By Chance, 2.40 Scoop The Pot, 3.15 Acker Bilk, 3.45 Winter Spice, 4.20 Flying Tiger.

Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker

Sleepy Head (9.00 Dundalk)

Fair effort at Gowran last time and returns to the all-weather on a workable marked judged on last year's course-and-distance success (RPR 70).

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Kenny The Captain (4.10 Ayr)

Has been a beaten favourite twice recently but showed glimpses of a return to form each time and could end his lengthy lean spell.

Longshot: Sam Hardy

Kinks (3.05 Ayr)

Close third in the Super Sprint at Newbury, sent over to France to compete in a Group 1 but was outclassed and he should be more competitive in this grade.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Presenting Mahler (5.10 Ballinrobe)

Having made all and jumped well to record her fourth win over fences with a 21 length victory at the recent Listowel, the John Ryan-trained eight-year-old reverts to hurdles with genuine claims in today's 2m4f mares handicap. She handles testing ground well and gets the vote score under Danny Mullins.
