Ayr's Gold Cup meeting takes centre stage and here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors tipster.
Ayr

Raqiya has a looked a more than useful type in a trio of runs in maiden and novice company so far and can take the step up to pattern class in her stride. She beat a subsequent winner hands down at Salisbury by 3 lengths two runs ago and then was even more impressive last time out when winning a novice event at Haydock by 4 1/4 lengths. The daughter of Blue Point is clearly a smart individual and can continue her progression today. 6f on a galloping straight track such as Ayr will suit her well and Raqiya rates a 4 star win Pick.
