Ayr Gold Cup tips for day two as Garry Owen picks his winner for mouthwatering marquee race

The Ayr Gold Festival comes to a crescendo and Record Sport's top tipster Garry Owen has gone through the card on day two. And you can follow every furlong from the main event on Saturday in our LIVE blog.

RAMAZAN (3:35) can charge to victory for Richard Fahey in this year’s Virgin Bet Ayr Gold Cup. The sprinter built on some solid efforts when second to Prairie Falcon at this meeting a year ago. He backed-up that performance with a cracking third to Galeron in a hot nursery at the Curragh.

The three-year-old didn’t set the heather on fire with tepid early season efforts at York and Ascot. However, he hit back by decisively defeating Chartwell House in a valuable handicap at Haydock. The gelding was far from disgraced when ninth behind Baradar in the International Stakes at Ascot. He then resumed winning ways by bolting-up from Loingseoir in another hot contest at Chepstow.The bay has a potent turn of foot so he can claim Scotland’s biggest Flat race back over six furlongs.

KOY KOY (1:15) can extend George Boughey’s tremendous run in the Virgin Bet Handicap.

The four-year-old atoned for some poor runs when second to the useful Safe Voyage at Chester. The gelding soon continued his revival when decisively defeating Farasi Lane at Wolverhampton.

The bay is in the form of his life so he can make light of a welter-burden under Danny Tudhope.

HELVIC DREAM (1:50) can show he’s the real deal for Noel Meade in the Doonside Cup.

The gelding lost his way after outbattling Broome in Group 1 company at the Curragh in 2021.

However, he bounced back when third to Layfayette in the Royal Whip back at the same track.

The six-year-old remains in form so he can regain the winning thread in these calmer waters.
