UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

Turned out again quickly after a narrow defeat at Ayr on Friday, ZUMAATY can gain compensation over a C&D he ran well over on his penultimate outing. The five-year-old is now 4lb below his last winning mark, which should be enough to see off the likes of the recent Ayr winner Cosa Sara and Mac Ailey, who wasn't beaten far over further at Beverley last Wednesday.
Prediction : 1st Zumaaty 2nd Cosa Sara 3rd Mac Ailey

NOMINAL EVENT may have gone off at a big price on her debut at Chester recently, but she outran those odds when staying on late for third after being slowly away. She is bound to improve for that effort and looks the one be with, ahead of the likes of Amancio and Emu War, who ran well when third over C&D last month. A half-brother to the Group 2-placed Audience, Esquire is an intriguing newcomer for the David O'Meara team.
Prediction : 1st Nominal Event 2nd Esquire 3rd Emu War

A comfortable winner over C&D in June, SANKARI has run with credit twice since. Conditions look set to be in his favour on this occasion and he could bounce back to winning form. The consistent Midnight Lir, who has been in the first two on four of his last six outings, can give him the most to think about. Course-winner Chumbaa and Instant Recall are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Sankari 2nd Midnight Lir 3rd Chumbaa

Ayr Poet arrives in fine form after holding on to win over a mile at Ayr on Friday but, given his keen nature, the eight-year-old may be worth taking on now upped to 1m4f. With that in mind, DETECTIVE could prove the solution to this puzzle. Dianne Sayer's gelding was runner-up at Carlisle earlier this month and a 1lb increase in the ratings looks more than fair. Restorer and Dundory also arrive in fine fettle and complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Detective 2nd Restorer 3rd Dundory

SACRED FALLS was turned over at shorts odds when runner-up in novice company at Musselburgh eight days ago. However, the Dark Angel filly lost little in defeat that day and a breakthrough success could be in the offing now returning to handicap company. Glendown posted a career-best performance when winning over 6f at Chester recently, but a 7lb rise in the ratings may leave Tim Easterby's gelding vulnerable, with fellow last-time-out winner Jack Of Clubs taken to emerge as the chief threat.
Prediction : 1st Sacred Falls 2nd Jack Of Clubs 3rd Glendown

Temper Trap likes it here, with five course and distance wins, but he still needs a career best off this mark and may have to settle for a place. Global Spirit carries a 4lb penalty after winning by less than a length at Pontefract last week and that may make an eighth career success more difficult, and preference lies with LEAP YEAR LAD. Caught late on over further at Haydock last month, the three-year-old may do better over this trip and maintain his unbeaten Hamilton record.
Prediction : 1st Leap Year Lad 2nd Global Spirit 3rd Temper Trap

Without a recent winner in this line-up it may pay to side with DANDYS GOLD, whose stable have been in among the winners in recent weeks. She has been dropped another 2lb after her seventh at Carlisle last time, but seems better with the cut in the ground that can be expected here. Willingly is an obvious danger after her Ffos Las second as she debuts for Mark Usher, while Woobay drops in class and could go well.
Prediction : 1st Dandys Gold 2nd Willingly 3rd Woobay
