A review of the action from Ayr on Tuesday as Jim Goldie enjoyed a big-race double.
Jim Goldie was in double-winning form at Ayr as he took the two features races with Euchen Glen and Tommy G.
The Glasgow handler, who also enjoyed a brace there on Monday, showed again why he is the most successful trainer at the track by claiming the two big prizes at odds of 44/1.
Euchen Glen went through the eye of a needle to land the spoils in the Spring Promotion At Western House Hotel Handicap.
The top weight looked to have nowhere to go as Royal Regent, Warp Factor and Archie's Advice battled it out.
However, jockey Sam James spotted a gap near the far rail as Eez Eh weakened out of contention.
The opportunity was grabbed with both hands and Euchen Glen (13/2) quickened well to win by a length and a quarter from Royal Regent.
"He's a nice horse. We wanted to drop him back in trip to teach him to settle, which he did, and he came through the gap well," said Goldie.
"It's onward and upwards with him."
James was also seen to good effect on Tommy G (5/1), who rattled past Glengarry in the final furlong to land the QTS Handicap by a length.
Goldie said: "We've been patient with him. We thought he would need more cut in the ground, but he certainly did it well."
However, there was a sting in the tail for James as he was banned for two days (May 23-24) for careless riding on Tommy G.
Visitant (10/1) showed his rivals a clean pair of heels to run away with the Belhaven For Macmillan May Handicap.
David Thompson's four-year-old settled the issue within a matter of strides as he stormed home by five lengths from Stoneboat Bill under Andrew Mullen.
Irish raider Not A Bad Oul Day (6/4 favourite) defied a 6lb penalty for a recent Gowran success when making most of the running in the one-mile apprentice handicap for Curragh trainer John Feane and 3lb claimer David Egan.
The Karl Burke-trained Burrishoole Abbey (7/2) gamely saw off all-comers for 5lb claimer Clifford Lee to take the Ayrshire Magazine Handicap by a length and a half from El Hombre.
David O'Meara's Dalton (5/2) overcame a slow start to open his account in cosy fashion on his first run for 341 days in the six-furlong maiden under Danny Tudhope.
Paddyplex (14/1) wore down long-time leader Fiendish to make a winning debut on the Flat in the mile-and-a-quarter maiden.
Experienced from three unplaced efforts in bumpers over the winter, the Keith Dalgleish-trained gelding asserted close home for Phillip Makin to get the verdict by one length.
