Monday racing: Spirit Of Acklam bids to follow up at Ayr


Updated: 11.21 • 08 Aug 2026 • Racing


Spirit Of Acklam loves his trips to Scotland and on Monday he will tackle the Ladbrokes 'Get More With Ladbucks' Handicap at Hamilton Park.

The son of Cracksman has won twice at Ayr and last time out was successful on his first trip to Hamilton Park.

A total of 14 runners have been declared for the race, as our horse steps back to ten furlongs having won over 15 furlongs last time.

Joanna Mason gets along well with the son of Cracksman and takes over from apprentice Rhys Elliot who was the winning rider last time.

Raised just one pound for his Hamilton victory, the horse to beat appears to be Star Cast, who has won four of his last six starts including last time out over course and distance.

Spirit Of Acklam's Ayr form reads 131 and he runs well at the track and we hope for another good performance, and any easing of the ground conditions will be in his favour.
