UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

MIA DIVA took a step forward from her debut at Newcastle when getting off the mark at Catterick at the start of the month. She has to give weight to all of her rivals but, on the evidence of that success, the daughter of Exceed And Excel looks capable of following up. Point of Order shaped with promise when third on his racecourse bow at Beverley and can pose a solid threat along with One Bite, who finished fourth on his second outing at Carlisle.
Prediction : 1st Mia Diva 2nd Point of Order 3rd One Bite

ARNOLD bounced back to somewhere near his best when a head second at Newcastle on his latest start in June. A repeat of that effort, as he returns to turf, would make him the one to beat in a contest where the majority of his rivals have plenty to prove. Bronze Beau's second at Yarmouth a fortnight ago entitles him to a place on the shortlist along with Astrophysics, who finished third at Beverley last time.
Prediction : 1st Arnold 2nd Bronze Beau 3rd Astrophysics

HARVEY DENT used up a lot of petrol making a significant move when second at Chester on Saturday having been unable to get to the lead early on. A return to front-running tactics, over a longer distance, can see the three-year-old back to winning ways. Loch Ness Monster will likely benefit from the drop back in distance based on his Kempton effort last Wednesday, while Kalagia is respected on her first start for 298 days with the Mark Johnston team in fine fettle.
Prediction : 1st Harvey Dent 2nd Loch Ness Monster 3rd Kalagia

Course-and-distance winner Remember Rocky was on the scoresheet at Ayr last time and the 10-year-old is respected off a 4lb higher rating, while Greengage was a narrow second at the same venue earlier this month and has to be considered. The hat-trick seeking Dutch Coed is of real interest arriving in top form, but a tentative nod is given to the Irish raider BELLEPOWER, who was only beaten a nose at Naas when last seen and the three-year-old filly could grab some well earned compensation off a mark just 4lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Bellepower 2nd Remember Rocky 3rd Dutch Coed

LEVER DU SOLEIL has been successful on a trio of raiding missions over the last month and looks to extend his winning run under a 10lb penalty. He scored over this distance at Ayr in the second of his three recent victories and Gavin Cromwell's strong staying four-year-old is hard to oppose. Jabbaar was third over course and distance earlier in the season and has been running respectably of late, finishing second at Pontefract last time. Desert Point and Diodorus complete the line-up, with the former most likely to take the final podium spot.
Prediction : 1st Lever Du Soleil 2nd Jabbaar 3rd Desert Point

NEW ARRANGEMENT should be all the wiser for the experience gained when runner-up on debut at Ripon last month and could feasibly go one better second time out. December Second has won two bumpers and also run well on both previous starts on the level, but is now dropping back sharply in trip. Newcomer Blistering Barney wouldn't have to be a superstar to be the best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st New Arrangement 2nd December Second 3rd Blistering Barney

RETIREMENT BECKONS finished a nose second over 7f at Ayr on Monday and could improve for this extra furlong as he bids to go one better. Rosy Ryan was beaten by the same margin at Beverley and has strong place claims racing off an unchanged rating. The pick of the remainder may be Blue Whisper, who picked up minor money over track and trip last time.
Prediction : 1st Retirement Beckons 2nd Rosy Ryan 3rd Blue Whisper

POYLE GEORGE TWO lost little in defeat when second over track and trip last time and wouldn't need to find a great deal of improvement in order to gain compensation. Be Bold makes some appeal on his Musselburgh victory off 2lb lower earlier in the month and has place possibilities, along with Kafoo, who has been running off higher marks on the all-weather and is nicely treated on turf.
Prediction : 1st Poyle George Two 2nd Be Bold 3rd Kafoo
