UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

HURT YOU NEVER continued the fine form of Adrian Nicholls' yard when completing a double a Leicester last Tuesday and she's hard to oppose off only 3lb higher here. Giselles Izzy also looks capable of picking up a race soon based on current form and is feared most. Beast Of Burden proved a different proposition when successful on her handicap debut at Newcastle last month and completes the shortlist off 6lb more.
Prediction : 1st Hurt You Never 2nd Giselles Izzy 3rd Beast Of Burden

SCOOPS AHOY sets a high standard on last month's runner-up effort at Beverley and a first career success looks on the cards. Petra Celera was green on her debut at Carlisle at the start of the month and that experience may enable an improved performance here. However, Blue Moon Baby boasts a nice pedigree and may emerge as a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Scoops Ahoy 2nd Petra Celera 3rd Blue Moon Baby

GRACES QUEST struggled at a higher level here recently, nevertheless, Jim Goldie's mare drops in class off 4lb lower and a bold bid can be anticipated. Fifty Sent lost little in defeat when runner-up at Ayr earlier in the month and enters calculations off the same mark. Three-time course winner Hot Team clearly likes this venue and also warrants consideration in his current fettle.
Prediction : 1st Graces Quest 2nd Fifty Sent 3rd Hot Team

NORTHERN SPIRIT has been consistent this term, notching up two wins from his four outings, and the Brian Ellison-trained three-year-old can take another step forward in this contest. Despite finding trouble in-running, he ran on well to land the spoils in the closing stages at Newcastle last month and gets the nod to defy a 4lb rise. Storm Venture hit the line with plenty of conviction on his last two outings over the minimum trip and this step back up in distance may suit, while American Affair can follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Northern Spirit 2nd Storm Venture 3rd American Affair

ABERAMA GOLD got back to winning ways on his latest outing at Wolverhampton, comfortably getting the better of seven rivals. The six-year-old could be on the premises yet again with a reproduction of that effort and he gets the tentative vote under a penalty. Vince Lombardi recorded a career best when decisively beating Iris Dancer (second) over C&D last month and he must be respected. Water Of Leith failed to fire last time out in similar company but may be able to bounce back off 1lb lower.
Prediction : 1st Aberama Gold 2nd Vince Lombardi 3rd Water Of Leith

A winner of four of his seven starts over C&D and not beaten far on his latest outing, REFUGE looks the one to beat with conditions appearing to be ideal. Yaahobby has finished off his races well the last twice and will need a strong pace to aim at to be seen to best effect over this distance, while Newyorkstateofmind has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Refuge 2nd Newyorkstateofmind 3rd Yaahobby

MAKALU bounced back to winning ways with a determined success at Redcar last time out and the four-year-old merits plenty of respect here. He can get the better of the capable My Honey B and Chinese Spirit, who bounced back to form with a narrow defeat at Musselburgh last time out. C&D winner Cosa Sara is another that could have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Makalu 2nd My Honey B 3rd Chinese Spirit
