Today’s FREE horse racing tips: Ayr, Wolverhampton, Worcester, Windsor and Ripon – Steve Mullen’s betting preview – Monday, July 9

AYR 6.30
LORTON has done very little wrong in her three starts except actually winning a race.

She has been beaten less than half a length on her past two outings, including when finishing well over 5f at Carlisle.

This step up in distance looks a wise move.

7.00
RACEMAKER went mighty close in a similar race over course and distance last time and should be right in the mix again.

He’s clearly in good form having scored at Thirsk earlier and has won here before.

7.30
EYECATCHER didn’t appear to get home over 1m6f at Sandown last time after earlier going close over this distance at Haydock, when beaten in a photo finish.

The visor goes on for the first time today which could give him that little extra push to get the win.

8.00
MOOLTAZEM is in cracking form with two wins and two seconds from his past five runs.

He kept digging deep to strike at Ayr last time after winning with a bit more in hand at Haydock.

This trip suits and a 3lb rise in the weights gives him a chance of landing the hat-trick.

8.30
DAFFY JANE didn’t get going at Leicester last time, which was a surprise because she had earlier won nicely at Thirsk.

She is just 3lb higher than that success and, given she ran well on her last visit here, should be right in the firing line again.

9.00
TIMESPAN wasn’t asked too many questions on debut at Windsor last time so did really well to finish third. She was very green there so should have learned from the experience and will have more to offer today.
