UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

LADY CELIA makes plenty of appeal returning to a venue where she has won twice in the past. She backed up her comeback victory at Carlisle with a solid fourth-placed effort at Newcastle and looks very dangerous now dropped in class, especially with Archie Young taking 5lb off her back. Not a lot went right for Warrendale Wagyu at Beverley and he is perhaps better judged on his win at Doncaster previously, while Impressor and Zaphea are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Lady Celia 2nd Warrendale Wagyu 3rd Impressor

Tower Of Africa shaped with an abundance of promise on debut (6f) before flopping at Beverley (extended 7f) and she is interesting now trying the minimum trip, but AIRSPEED looks the most solid option. He sets the standard with two solid efforts in defeat and probably won't need to improve much to make it third-time lucky. Joshuas Dream ran a blinder over C&D last month and he could go well again.
Prediction : 1st Airspeed 2nd Tower Of Africa 3rd Joshuas Dream

MOYOLA ran out an impressive winner over C&D two starts ago and would have got much closer at Ripon last time but for trouble in running. He certainly looks capable of doing some damage off this unchanged mark of 75, and gets the nod. Dropping back in trip may suit the keen-going Cold Stare and he holds solid claims, boosted by Mark Winn taking 3lb off his back. Slainte Mhath also warrants respect with first-time blinkers applied.
Prediction : 1st Moyola 2nd Cold Stare 3rd Slainte Mhath

The consistent Tafsir arrives on the back of a decisive victory over C&D last month and, upped 3lb, he must enter calculations. That said, preference is for MY NOBLE LORD. Michael Bell's progressive three-year-old looked a handicapper to keep on the right side of when fairly bolting up over 1m4f at Ripon latest and, despite a 9lb hike in the ratings, he gets the nod to bring up the hat-trick for his in-form stable. Two Auld Pals is another for consideration.
Prediction : 1st My Noble Lord 2nd Tafsir 3rd Two Auld Pals

In a competitive affair where a case can be made for many, the tentative vote goes to HELTER SKELTER. Rebecca Menzies' charge was unsuited by the way the race developed when finishing down the field over 7f at Ayr on his penultimate start, before shaping with promise when runner-up over a mile at Carlisle recently. Upped 1lb with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces, he appeals most. Thewind Cries Mary has showed enough in her three qualifying runs to suggest that she can be competitive in a race of this nature, and she commands attention on her handicap bow. Naval Academy and Classy Boy are also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Helter Skelter 2nd Thewind Cries Mary 3rd Classy Boy

JUMEIRA VISION has won his last two starts with forceful displays and, off just 3lb above his latest Musselburgh success, he can exploit any weakness shown by the opposition here. A good second over slightly further here last time, Paco's Pride rates the chief danger despite him being winless form 18 previous attempts. Millbuie is the pick of the rest with first-time blinkers noted as a potential source for improvement.
Prediction : 1st Jumeira Vision 2nd Pacos Pride 3rd Millbuie

Ledger is already a dual course winner and is dangerous to underestimate, despite stepping back up in trip and having to give weight away all round. The Lucinda Russell-trained gelding has a likeable attitude and should be heavily involved if he stays. However, the lightly-raced PENELOPE'S SISTER has no doubts on that score and, off just 2lb above her C&D success from last month, Jim Golide's filly shades preference. Visitant and Miss Harmony are also considered given both are attractively weighted at present.
Prediction : 1st Penelopes Sister 2nd Ledger 3rd Visitant
