Ayr Race 3 - Every Race Live On Racing Tv Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Irish raider APACHE TRIBE (1) returns after 139 days off having concluded last campaign gaining a dominant 16L jumpers flat success at Listowel over 4023m. Fresh record commands respect and another bold showing is expected. DUBHAIN (2) resumes after three months. Went well fresh previously including a Down Royal jumpers flat third tackling 3419m when last commencing a campaign. Makes genuine appeal. GREEN ANGEL (3) shaped with promise when fourth at Down Royal on return beaten 9L. Open to improvement. Genuine danger. HOPELESS DANCER (4) arrives on the back of consecutive Ludlow placings including most recently going down a neck contesting 3200m sixty nine days ago. Cannot be dismissed. Something for the Multiples: MALAYALAM (6)

Third-up today. First-up finished eighth of 13 starters at this track on January 2 over 3200m, on slow going 24 len behind Sanilam with 70.5kg at $34. Second run from a spell finished fourth of 12 runners at Wetherby on January 22 over 3200m, on slow going 46 len behind Starmount carrying 67.5kg at $81. Doubt he will do too much here.
