UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

Now that HAPPIER has regained the winning thread after a taking success at Catterick last week, the daughter of Profitable could kick on and follow up under a 5lb penalty. Back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Musselburgh last time out, Hard Nut is capable of being in the shake-up, along with Sixcor, who scored over C&D last month.
Prediction : 1st Happier 2nd Hard Nut 3rd Sixcor

A major improver from first to second start after a gelding operation when runner-up at Pontefract last month, SHOWTOWN can go one better on this occasion. That may be at the main expense of Star Noir, who should improve for the rise in distance after a promising second on debut over 5f at Beverley. Stoic Poet is another who has shown enough ability in three career outings to suggest that he is capable.
Prediction : 1st Showtown 2nd Star Noir 3rd Stoic Poet

GOLDEN HORSE didn't do himself any favours when slowly away on debut at Pontefract last month, but he recovered well to finish third and, with normal improvement, he can strike for his in-form connections. An encouraging second over 7f at Redcar last time out, They All Know Me is open to more progression and he is a key player, as well as newcomer Spirit Of Nature, who is related to several winners.
Prediction : 1st Golden Horse 2nd They All Know Me 3rd Spirit Of Nature

Ayr Poet is looking for his hat-trick but he won't get his own way on the front end here with impressive novice winner Noble Horizon expected to take him on. If they go off too fast they may set the race up for a closer and Harry Charlton's WAVE RIDER fits the bill. Winner of a decent Sandown maiden, he finished third at Yarmouth last month but drops in class off 1lb lower and boasts every chance.
Prediction : 1st Wave Rider 2nd Noble Horizon 3rd Ayr Poet

Jim Goldie won this last year with a five-year-old and is back for more with Eternal Sunshine, who would have place chances if she can repeat her July second. Iris Dancer needs forgiving a poor run at York last month but she has won here eight times. The vote goes to NOVAK. A length second at Musselburgh over further last time, he has won off this mark over this trip before.
Prediction : 1st Novak 2nd Eternal Sunshine 3rd Iris Dancer

Lady Phoebe seemingly won with plenty in hand over a longer trip at Musselburgh last time, but she took 18 attempts to open her account and the less-exposed SHABU SHABU is preferred. A ready winner at Yarmouth recently, Saffie Osborne could afford to ease the son of Australia down in the closing stages, so a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor him. Sugarpiehoneybunch may prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Shabu Shabu 2nd Lady Phoebe 3rd Sugarpiehoneybunch

ROYAL BLAZE forged clear of the opposition to land a classified stakes race at Ayr on Saturday. He will likely prove competitive back in handicap company and another good effort looks assured, despite a 5lb penalty. Temper Trap has returned to a winning mark and could land a blow, while Daring Leader performed well here last time and drops in distance with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Royal Blaze 2nd Temper Trap 3rd Daring Leader
