JOIN A NOBLE CAUSE

- BY GARRY OWEN

NOBLE ANTHEM (3.20) can call the tune for Archie Watson on Ayr’s competitiv­e July Finale Raceday.

The three-year-old showed a willing attitude to dispatch the useful Glasses Up over track and trip and remains nicely unexposed over 1m 2f so can shrug off a lenient 3lb penalty up in class.

TATTERSTAL­L (1.0) can shade the fascinatin­g EBF Maiden Stakes for Michael Dods. The two-year-old stayed upwardly mobile when narrowly beaten by Secret Guest at Beverley in a strong contest so can open his account slightly upped in trip.

John Quinn’s SIGNORA CAMACHO (1.35) is worth punting in the Western House Nursery. The two-year-old was a cracking second to the useful Ramazan on her handicap bow at Haydock and is open to plenty of progress so can land another warm event on the faster surface.

EARN YOUR STRIPES (2.10) can give shrewd Mike Smith more glory at his local venue. The speedster ran another stormer when just denying Monsieur Kodi over course and distance and should still be in peak form so can take command once again despite a fair 4lb hike.

SPACER (2.45) looks out of this world for David Loughnane in the Ladies Night Handicap.

The three-year-old gave the progressiv­e Fresh Hope a real fright in a decent event at Leicester so can go one better against some exposed rivals.

David Barron is hitting form so I’m backing LILIKOI (3.55) in the Ayr Hospitalit­y Handicap. The four-year-old built on some solid efforts when outbattlin­g Rose Fandango at Haydock so can follow up under skilled claimer Christian Howarth.

RED ALLURE (4.25) can turn on the charm for thriving Rebecca Menzies in the sprint.

The seven-year looked better than ever when slamming the in-form Canaria Prince at Hamilton and scored with plenty in hand so can claim a slightly weaker contest.

WESTERN WRITER (8.10) can extend Charlie Appleby’s winning streak at Windsor. The gelding rates a sure-fire improver after an excellent second to Ikhtiraaq at Yarmouth.
