UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

DOLCE VITTA made no mistake on her second career start when running out a comfortable winner over 6f at Redcar last month. She gets the vote to bring up the double for a trainer and jockey combination who are operating at a 21% strike rate when teaming up on turf this year. Proud To Be Fox made a promising debut when finishing fifth in a deeper race at York last month and a bold showing from him would be no surprise. Well-bred newcomers Catalyse and Motawahij also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Dolce Vitta 2nd Proud To Be Fox 3rd Motawahij

It is hard to look past ALIGN THE STARS, who was last seen finishing an excellent second in a warm contest at York last month and a repeat of that display would be more than enough for him to shed the maiden tag. Alacrity was the subject of significant market support when she could only manage fourth on her handicap debut at Windsor recently, but she can serve it up to the selection and prove the money wasn't totally misplaced. Victory Shout is also noteworthy for the in-form Karl Burke team.
Prediction : 1st Align The Stars 2nd Alacrity 3rd Victory Shout

Fairbanks blotted his copybook on his seasonal reappearance when finishing sixth in a Thirsk handicap over 1m4f in April, but he bounced straight back to form with a comfortable victory over the same trip at Newcastle the following month. Preference, though, is for GEREMIA. Iain Jardine's gelding came from last to first to win going away over 1m4f here last month and, with the potential of more to come upped further in trip, he can defy a 4lb rise. Hope You Can Run and Too Friendly are closely matched on recent form and cannot be overlooked lightly.
Prediction : 1st Geremia 2nd Fairbanks 3rd Hope You Can Run

DESPERATE HERO continues to improve and won a competitive sprint at Goodwood on his latest start. Jack Channon's charge looks sure to make another bold bid in this. King's Lynn was beaten only a neck by the selection at Goodwood and is preferred to Jm Jungle, who still looks a shade high in the weights. Aberama Gold is capable in this grade and drops back in trip, while Makanah is fitted with a visor after a poor effort at York. Musselburgh winner American Affair makes most appeal of Jim Goldie's three runners.
Prediction : 1st Desperate Hero 2nd Kings Lynn 3rd Aberama Gold

STRONG IMPACT wasn't beaten far when fifth in a tougher handicap at Ascot last month. Aidan Keeley's 3lb allowance helps her cause on this occasion and Roger Varian's filly gets the vote. Warda Jamila won over 1m2f at the same Ascot meeting as the selection but has an 8lb hike to contend with, while both Dora Milaje and Cloudy Skye ran well on their respective handicap debuts. Star Jasmine landed a maiden race at Bath in April and is another with scope for improvement now handicapping.
Prediction : 1st Strong Impact 2nd Warda Jamila 3rd Dora Milaje

MR IRRELEVANT failed to see out the 7f trip at York last week having landed a double over today's distance before that. Grant Tuer's charge gets another chance with the ground also in his favour. Cargin Bhui had a difficult task drawn wide at Chester and better is expected from him, while Ziggy's Queen and Pals Battalion have both won over the minimum trip but have something to prove over this extra furlong.
Prediction : 1st Mr Irrelevant 2nd Cargin Bhui 3rd Ziggys Queen

My Little Queens is now 7lb higher than when beating Bulldog Spirit and JAMINOZ over track and trip early last month. The latter has subsequently ran well again back at this venue and may prove the one to side with in open affair. Tafsir scored over a longer trip at Ayr on her latest start and can figure again, while Detective showed signs of a return to form when runner-up over a mile at Carlisle and could go well.
Prediction : 1st Jaminoz 2nd Tafsir 3rd Detective
