UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

Having returned to the level with a decent second over shorter here last week, RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE is entitled to build upon that effort and he can end a long losing streak dating back to July 2021. Billy No Mates improved from first to second start this season when second over 1m6f at Carlisle. He is a key player along with Crystal Guard, who ran his best race for some time when runner-up here earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Ravenscraig Castle 2nd Billy No Mates 3rd Crystal Guard

WOR FAAYTH caught the eye on debut at Carlisle when staying on well for third, despite an awkward start and hanging left a furlong out. With normal improvement expected, Brian Ellison's charge can break the maiden at the main expense of Goldie Bear, who showed similar ability when third first time out at Thirsk recently. By a speedy sire in the shape of Ubettabelieveit, Thehunnebelllegacy looks to be the pick of the newcomers for trainer Richard Fahey.
Prediction : 1st Wor Faayth 2nd Goldie Bear 3rd Thehunnebelllegacy

A highly creditable third over C&D in May behind a winner that has gone in multiple times since, KYBER CRYSTAL should be primed for this assignment and a mark of 56 looks manageable for the daughter of El Kabeir. Daniel Tudhope returning to the saddle aboard the capable Startling is a big plus, while Carlton And Co has dropped back to a mark 1lb lower than her last success.
Prediction : 1st Kyber Crystal 2nd Startling 3rd Carlton And Co

Top-weight VANTHEMAN has faced a few stiff assignments this season, with the most recent of those coming in a class 2 event over 6f here three weeks ago. Kevin Ryan's charge didn't run too badly that day and dropping to the minimum trip should suit, while he is also 1lb below his last winning mark. Brooklyn Nine Nine found only one too strong over C&D latest and he merits respect along with the unexposed Kalik, who struck in taking fashion at Lingfield last time out.
Prediction : 1st Vantheman 2nd Brooklyn Nine Nine 3rd Kalik

Spy Kingdom sets the standard with an official rating of 85 but although respected, he has something to prove following a below-par Redcar effort and it is DANGER BAY that shades preference. Ed Bethell's colt chased home a couple of useful rivals when third at Carlisle last month, and any further progress may well suffice. Others to note include Sound Janet and Eternal Force.
Prediction : 1st Danger Bay 2nd Spy Kingdom 3rd Sound Janet

POMME POMME holds a perfect record in five starts in handicap company and made every yard of the running to score in good style at Haydock on Saturday. Jack Channon's filly has her first attempt at this distance and could find further improvement to continue her brilliant form. Word Of Mouth wasn't disgraced when fourth at Chelmsford earlier in the month and may have a say on only her second handicap outing. Neoma can beat Cymbidium home for third.
Prediction : 1st Pomme Pomme 2nd Word Of Mouth 3rd Neoma

CITY CAPTAIN made it two wins out of three starts since switching to the Harriet Bethell stable last time and may have more to offer. The son of Aclaim's most recent victory at Carlisle suggested his winning sequence might have not come to an end, and he looks the one to beat again. Inanna finished third over C&D on her most recent outing and would be foolish to dismiss, while Roach Power isn't out of it either.
Prediction : 1st City Captain 2nd Inanna 3rd Roach Power
