Steve Mullen guides you through Thursday's racing at Ayr, Chelmsford, Worcester and Bangor
AYR
1.35
WARNING FIRE made a nice start to her career with a good third at Pontefract last time out.
She went from the front there and just got tired in the closing stages.
She wouldn’t have to improve much to get off the mark.
Epona has been knocking on the door and finished second over course and distance in similar ground last time. She will be right there again.
2.05
ALBANZA is a good performer in this testing ground and showed real battling quality to win in the mud at Hamilton last time.
He had success over this course and distance in the summer and still looks on a fair mark, just 3lb higher than that win.
Sarvi loved these conditions when scoring over course and distance latest. He’s up 6lb but still has a chance.

Soft ground and a lowish draw gives HOT HANNAH a good chance after three excellent runs.
She was third in a big field here two runs ago and followed up with a tight second at Hamilton last time out. She can be hit and miss but is developing a nice habit of running well.
Rockley Point enjoyed the testing ground when winning well in this grade last time out.
He’s just 3lb higher and should be competitive again.
3.10
FALMOUTH LIGHT managed to finish a close-up third here last time despite losing a shoe.
The ground was soft that day as it was when he was second in really testing conditions last month.
This drop in distance could help given he stays further and this will take plenty of getting.
Militia is back to just 1lb higher than when winning here in July. He will have a chance if taking to this ground.
ENABLE VS TREVE Who wins the Battle of the Fillies?
3.40
LONG WOOD is interesting coming over from Ireland for this handicap debut.
She hasn’t shown that much in three maidens and is dropped in distance from what looks a very fair opening mark. The betting will be a good guide.
Acadian Angel has run well on her past two visits here when placed. This trip is ideal and the give in the ground shouldn’t be an issue.
4.10
ROARING FORTIES is down in class after an unlucky sixth at Beverley last time out.
He was coming with a good run there before being stopped a couple of times. That was his best run for a while and he’s a hefty 17lb below his last winning mark.
Magical Molly Hoe was third here in bottomless ground and came back from a year off looking in need of the run last time. She’s on a fair mark and could run into the places.
4.45
INGLORIOUS didn’t see out the mile while fifth here last time on the back of a really good run over this distance at Carlisle.
Blinkers are on for the first time today, which could help, and he’s got plenty of good runs in similar races under his belt.
Reinforced is just 2lb higher than when winning here in July and was a solid fourth at Carlisle before his slight break. This trip suits and he should be in the shake-up.
5.15
CUBOMANIA has been in excellent form over jumps with two wins already this autumn.
He seems to have improved considerably since his last runs on the level last year when with another trainer. From this mark, he looks very difficult to stop.
Guitar Pete is another quality chaser with success at Listed level over fences. He was second on his sole run on the level and looks the main threat.
