The Punt Acca: Charlie Huggins' two horse racing tips at Ayr on Monday

Holly Bird (1.30 Ayr)

The form of her fourth-placed effort behind subsequent Grade 2 runner-up and Cheltenham winner Country Mile at this track last time reads well as the second, Walking On A Dream, has gone one better since. Holly Bird beat main market rival Golden Point by seven lengths when they met in a Carlisle bumper in December 2023 and she should confirm the form here.

Raffles Wonder (2.35 Ayr)

Made a respectable chasing debut to finish third after a 233-day absence at Hexham last month and he should come on from that experience. The eight-year-old is 5lb better off with Tommy Combats, who beat him by two and a quarter lengths on that occasion, which may be enough for him to reverse the form.
