Can’t Stop Now got up in the dying strides to score over C&D nine days ago and has to be respected under a 4lb penalty.

It was hard not to be impressed by HORNSEA BAY’s debut victory over track and trip last month and he has plenty of scope for improvement. If the son of New Bay can take a step forward, he could prove tough to beat despite carrying a penalty. Last Galileo is the obvious danger after finishing second on his debut at Redcar, while newcomer Ridgemaster is another to note.

TODAY’S JOCKEY TO WATCH - PAUL MULRENNAN
Paul will be crowned champion jockey at Ayr for 2024 this afternoon as the rider has built up an unassailable lead in our points table after another fantastic season at one of his favourite tracks. Mulrennan’s successful partnership with trainer Jim Goldie around the Scottish tracks has become a feature of the scene here in recent years and the pair have mopped up doubles and trebles right through the summer with remarkable consistency Unfortunately for Paul, one of the biggest public gambles in Ayr Gold Cup history went astray last month when Goldie’s American Affair pulled too hard and lost all chance of big-race success, but this jockey has still managed to have another excellent season and he’ll receive his prize in between his final 6 rides of the Ayr season on today’s card.

Golden Valour had Alpine Sierra (fourth) behind when he occupied the runner-up berth over C&D recently and it would be no surprise to see him confirm that form. However, LUMENBOURG looks the way to go. Julie Camacho’s three-year-old produced a pleasing effort when hitting the crossbar in this grade at Redcar on his most recent start and a repeat of that effort might be good enough.

TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - JIM GOLDIE
“Big Jim” has only recently returned to the track after undergoing successful hip-replacement surgery and he was disappointed last month to miss his first Gold Cup meeting here in more than 30 years due to the operation. One of the stars of Goldie’s season has been star sprinter Jordan Electrics who the trainer transformed from a 76-rated, 4 lengths Bronze Cup third in 2023 to a 101 rated, 4 lengths Gold Cup 5th in 2024 and there were 7 wins, including one at Ayr, in the intervening 12 months. Goldie has had major triumphs away from Ayr this year, including landing the Sky Bet Sunday Series £100,000 bonus with owner Stuart Morrison’s Letsbefrank but he’ll look to round off the year with a winner today with 10 runners across the 7-race card.

Hour By Hour impressed when scoring comfortably over this trip at Hamilton last month and he must enter calculations. That said, preference is for the consistent MYTHICAL PHOENIX He has built up enough credit to suggest he is well worth another chance following his latest fifth at Thirsk and, eased 1lb in the weights, he looks the one to be with. Abduction is also noteworthy.

MAXI BOY bounced right back to form when scoring with the minimum of fuss over this trip at Newcastle last week and, having escaped a penalty for winning an apprentice handicap, he may prove tough to stop. A 5lb rise for fellow last-time-out winner Sparkling Red shouldn’t prevent another bold bid, while each-way players may look the way of Yaaser.

The seven-year-old can uphold form with the reopposing Gainsbourg (second), while Mr Jetman is another to note having shown up well in recent starts over further. Runner-up over 7f at Musselburgh last time out, Rwenearlytheredad has the potential to improve for going up in trip.

DANDY’S ANGEL looked well at ease when scoring over 1m4f at Hamilton on her penultimate start and going up to this trip shouldn’t inconvenience her as she looks to land the four-timer. A winner over further here last week and turned out quickly under a 4lb penalty, Ebony Maw must enter calculations, along with Val Bassett, who wasn’t devoid of promise at Hamilton latest.
