UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

Fengari made her first start a winning one as she scored by a head at Leicester, but that was on much softer ground which could open the door for SWORDPLAY. The son of Kodiac hit the line well last time over 5f at this track and he would have learned a lot from that first outing. With normal improvement, he could prove very tough to beat. Lincoln Royal is an interesting newcomer.
Prediction : 1st Swordplay 2nd Fengari 3rd Lincoln Royal

McCauley's Tavern sets the standard for others to aim at having run with great credit last time at Doncaster, where he was denied by just over two lengths and is likely to be thereabouts once more. However, preference is for CROW'S NEST, who showed some ability on debut at Windsor, as he started slowly before staying on nicely for third, and he could take a step forward to strike. Talha is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Crows Nest 2nd McCauleys Tavern 3rd Talha

Havana Party kept on to score by a length and a half at Ayr on Monday in first-time blinkers and has to be considered under a 5lb penalty, but he could come out second best to ZARABANDA. The four-year-old filly ran with credit here on her return to action last and was subsequently dropped 2lb in the weights for her latest effort at Ayr. Ravenglass is also one to watch.
Prediction : 1st Zarabanda 2nd Havana Party 3rd Ravenglass

This represents a considerable drop in grade for Acklam Express, who sports a first-time tongue-tie following a disappointing run in the Temple Stakes at Haydock last month. However, he does have to shoulder top-weight here, so WALKING ON CLOUDS is marginally preferred. A game winner over this trip at Ayr most recently, Grant Tuer's four-year-old cannot be dismissed now rated 1lb higher for that win. Khanjar and Edward Cornelius add further spice to the mix.
Prediction : 1st Walking On Clouds 2nd Acklam Express 3rd Khanjar

With just the four runners heading to post, it is hard to look past THERMOSCOPE, who bolted up over 2m at Musselburgh last month. That was his first run off a break and Keith Dalgleish's five-year-old must enter calculations off 11lb higher. Graces Quest has to defy a 5lb penalty following a three-quarters of a length success at Carlisle last Thursday, but she is still feared, while La Pulga completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Thermoscope 2nd Graces Quest 3rd La Pulga

ELLADORA bounced back to form with a comfortable success from the front over C&D last time out and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop her going in again. Similar comments apply to Thaki, who also scored over C&D last week, while Novak is a big danger if handling the drop in trip after his win over further at Ayr.
Prediction : 1st Elladora 2nd Thaki 3rd Novak

Now that the penny has dropped for PRINCE ACHILLE after a determined win at Carlisle, there should be more to come from Jedd O'Keeffe's charge stepping back up in trip. Termonator (fourth) has over four lengths to make up with him from that contest, but remains fairly handicapped, whereas Samurai Sneddz has a losing streak dating back to May 2022 to overcome.
Prediction : 1st Prince Achille 2nd Termonator 3rd Samurai Sneddz
