UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

CRYSTAL GUARD is the only contender to have won over this distance in the field and although only successful by a head last time out at Ayr, he was always doing enough to hold off his challengers. Upped 1lb by the handicapper, the six-year-old can go well under Mohammed Tabti, who is a very promising apprentice. Twoforthegutter has to shoulder top-weight after rallying to win over a furlong shorter here and is an obvious danger, while Reams Of Love would be favourably handicapped if he can bounce back to his best.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Guard 2nd Twoforthegutter 3rd Reams Of Love

A small field may play into the hands of the experienced GEORGECANDOIT, who has finished second on all three starts to date and drops in class after trying to make all at Carlisle. He may be able to dominate from the off here, though newcomer Jungle Drums is an interesting alternative as a son of Bungle Inthejungle and representing the Karl Burke team. Gobsmacked is another to consider if returning to the form of his debut third here after a disappointing effort at Leicester.
Prediction : 1st Georgecandoit 2nd Jungle Drums 3rd Gobsmacked

Trainer Richard Fahey has won two of the last five runnings of this race suggesting the unraced Gold Black is worth a market watch. That said, he may find this six furlongs on the sharp side based on the dam's side of his pedigree. TRIPLE CHARGED showed improved form when third at Ayr and another step forward may see him shed the maiden tag. Lucius Aurelius and Pretty Thing could both enter calculations after their promising debuts.
Prediction : 1st Triple Charged 2nd Lucius Aurelius 3rd Pretty Thing

In what looks a trappy affair, the tentative vote goes to JAMINOZ. Lucinda Russell's charge kept on well to finish fourth over an extended mile here last week and, off an unchanged mark stepping up in trip, he can land the spoils. Spanish Hustle has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature and a bounce back to form off his last winning mark would be no surprise. Jackhammer was too keen for his own good when finishing fourth here latest and, with the headgear discarded this time, completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jaminoz 2nd Spanish Hustle 3rd Jackhammer

JOHN L SULLIVAN impressed with the manner of his victory over a mile at Wetherby last week, making smooth headway to join the leaders before putting the race to bed in a matter of strides, and the likelihood is that a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor him. Fellow last-time-out winner Rosenzoo also commands respect under a penalty but inconsistency continues to be the main concern with him, while it would be foolish to overlook Jazz Scene, who steps up in trip on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st John L Sullivan 2nd Rosenzoo 3rd Jazz Scene

Persian Phoenix has been running well in defeat of late and she is a likely candidate once more, while Capellina, who steps up in trip and with cheekpieces applied for the first-time ahead of this handicap bow, must also enter calculations. However, recent Carlisle scorer NATURALIA does not look overburdened by a subsequent 5lb hike in the ratings and she is taken to follow up.
Prediction : 1st Naturalia 2nd Persian Phoenix 3rd Capellina

Back from a short absence and following wind surgery, there were signs of promise from the Iain Jardine-trained Sea Girt, who was a creditable fourth over C&D three weeks ago. The Sixties Icon gelding could build on that performance, but it might pay to side with HOT TEAM. Too keen to see out 1m4f here on his latest outing, the drop in trip is likely to be of benefit and this is not the deepest of contests on paper. Fanzone is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Hot Team 2nd Sea Girt 3rd Fanzone
