UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

GISELLES IZZY only went down by a neck when stepping up to class 4 level over C&D last week, and she goes off the same mark. If the quick turnaround doesn't cause her any problems, she could be the one to beat. Gentle Ellen (third) had Mark's Choice (fifth) behind at Pontefract last time and she can confirm her superiority over that rival. Burj Malinka completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Giselles Izzy 2nd Gentle Ellen 3rd Marks Choice

WINGED MESSENGER (second) had Ingleby Archie (third) behind on his penultimate start at Beverley and he has put in another solid runner-up effort at Chester since. The son of Postponed looks ready to shed his maiden tag at the fourth time of asking. Star Mind showed more than enough ability on debut when third at Carlisle to suggest a race of this nature should be within reach.
Prediction : 1st Winged Messenger 2nd Ingleby Archie 3rd Star Mind

CLASSIC TIMES made light work of her opening mark at Sandown in a first-time hood and she should have more to come on only her fifth career start. The three-year-old filly has been hit with an 11lb hike, but she could be up to the task. Zarabanda is in great heart at the moment, as she hasn't finished outside of the first two home on each of her last three outings. Anjo Bonita is seeking her hat-trick and she should mount a bold bid after victory at York.
Prediction : 1st Classic Times 2nd Zarabanda 3rd Anjo Bonita

MR PROFESSOR bounced back to form with an impressive victory at Goodwood last week and the four-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. The unexposed Botanical is an obvious threat following his promising handicap debut at Ascot a few weeks ago, while Baryshnikov edges out Cockalorum to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mr Professor 2nd Botanical 3rd Baryshnikov

MAC AILEY was an easy three-length winner of an apprentice race over C&D a week ago and the seven-year-old clearly sets the standard without a penalty here. Dream Final has shown promise on his last couple of starts and it would be no surprise to see him go well on his handicap bow. Others to note are Retirement Beckons and Banner Road.
Prediction : 1st Mac Ailey 2nd Dream Final 3rd Retirement Beckons

EMERALDS PRIDE completed the hat-trick when just prevailing by a nose at Redcar, and she was only raised 3lb for that success. The daughter of Pride Of Dubai seems to be just doing enough in her races, which is making it difficult for the handicapper to catch up. Speedacus was victorious in this grade at Leicester recently and he ought to go close once again, while High Opinion also looks a solid contender.
Prediction : 1st Emeralds Pride 2nd Speedacus 3rd High Opinion

Jaminoz struck with ease over 1m1f around here last week and he warrants plenty of respect, with only 5lb extra to carry. However, this represents a big step up in distance, so the vote instead goes to ASK PETER, who had Ebony Maw behind when victorious by a length over C&D last time. She can go in again. Another last-time-out winner Lunacy completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ask Peter 2nd Jaminoz 3rd Lunacy
