UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

This represents a more suitable task for ROCK MELODY to bounce back in and Jim Goldie's four-year-old is taken to build on a fair sixth in a better C&D race earlier this month. She is rated 1lb lower for that run and Jonny Peate knocks off an additional 3lb with his claim, but Ramon Di Loria scored in game fashion at Carlisle last time out and should not be dismissed under a 5lb penalty. Recent C&D winner Refuge should also be noted off 4lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Rock Melody 2nd Ramon Di Loria 3rd Refuge

Only narrowly denied over C&D earlier this month, first-time blinkers could do the trick for LIEUTENANT RASCAL and the son of U S Navy Flag is fancied to break his maiden at the third time of asking. Swordplay is related to a few smart types and warrants a market check for his racecourse bow, while Grecian Princess and Moyola are others worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Lieutenant Rascal 2nd Swordplay 3rd Grecian Princess

LORD ABAMA lost little in defeat when finishing a close second over this trip at Carlisle earlier this month and the fact he retains the mark from that run makes the four-year-old of significant interest. Thaki kept on for third behind the selection in that aforementioned contest and warrants a market check, but he shaped as though he could need a stiffer stamina test on that occasion. Yaaser drops in distance following a decent third over a mile at Ayr and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lord Abama 2nd Thaki 3rd Yaaser

WHERE'S JEFF bounced back to winning ways when narrowly holding on over C&D earlier in the month and a mere 2lb rise may not be enough to stop him recording a fourth course victory. That may be at the main expense of comfortable Musselburgh winner Simple Star and Sea Grey, who holds strong claims on the form of his penultimate second at Haydock.
Prediction : 1st Wheres Jeff 2nd Simple Star 3rd Sea Grey

Now that the penny has dropped for BAY DREAM BELIEVER after a taking success at Wetherby, there should be more to come from Mark Walford's charge and the slight rise in distance is expected to suit. Not beaten far on each of his last three starts, Shine On Brendan can give her the most to think about, along with Arranmore, who ran very well on his second start for new connections at Thirsk.
Prediction : 1st Bay Dream Believer 2nd Shine On Brendan 3rd Arranmore

HI CLARE rounded off her juvenile season with a sterling effort as she made all to win a nursery over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last September, and has to be taken seriously as she resumes off just 3lb higher. It's an added bonus that she has some previous experience of this particular course and looks to have been set a realistic target for her return. Arkenstaar is an obvious threat, having won over C&D from a 5lb lower mark 12 days ago, while Silk Bird also warrants a second look.
Prediction : 1st Hi Clare 2nd Arkenstaar 3rd Silk Bird

BREGUET BOY has held his form since joining Keith Dalgleish at the start of March and is key player as he chases a third victory on just his sixth start for the yard. The gelding was better than the face value of his Musselburgh success 16 days ago and a 4lb higher mark is hardly restrictive in this sort of company. Cosa Sara is another on a workable rating who has to feared, while Hot Team, who won this race in 2021, can get competitive off 3lb lower today.
Prediction : 1st Breguet Boy 2nd Cosa Sara 3rd Hot Team
