Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's two meetings

Ayr

2.35: Tommy Combats

Top of the list is the lightly raced Tommy Combats, who made it second-time lucky over fences when producing a strong finishing burst at Hexham. A 5lb rise for that success looks fair enough and he's open to more progress in this sphere. The main dangers are Raffles Wonder (second choice) and Heeztheboy who finished third and fourth behind the selection last month and were not beaten far in that race.

6.30: Royal Zabeel

The Horse Watchers and Mick Appleby have acquired another possible money-spinner in Royal Zabeel, who is taken to improve further and follow up his Southwell success. Progressive Bobby Bennu is feared most, assuming the removal of the hood doesn't backfire. Brewing is respected off his current mark.
