UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

BOSTON DAN was hit with a 15lb rise after finishing second in a valuable sales race at York and his revised mark of 90 looks tough for future handicaps. However, dropping the son of Ardad back into a maiden can keep the momentum going and he is hard to oppose. Reeshah was well held on debut over 6f at Catterick, but should be wiser. Top Lad and Figjam won't need to be anything special to make the battle for the forecast slot interesting.
Prediction : 1st Boston Dan 2nd Reeshah 3rd Top Lad

FLOWSTATE's victory at Catterick was a solid piece of form in the context of this race and he looks the one to be with, working on the assumption that he can continue to flourish with a visor in place. Last-start Ayr winner Sibyl Charm is a pace angle who is well drawn to launch another bold bid, despite a 3lb rise. One Of Our Own, Dream Deal and Belsito are competitively-weighted options to consider.
Prediction : 1st Flowstate 2nd Sibyl Charm 3rd One Of Our Own

Giselles Izzy, who won this in 2023, and Thunderstorm Katie are closely matched based on their encounter at Ayr in July, but the revised terms give the former a decent chance of avenging that narrow defeat. Nevertheless, ORBITAL CHIME is fancied to make the most of his high draw and go one better than last week's gallant second off this mark at Musselburgh. Carlton And Co and Wichahpi are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Orbital Chime 2nd Giselles Izzy 3rd Thunderstorm Katie

V TWELVE is the only previous course winner here, with two Hamilton victories, the latest coming over track and trip in June. He has since finished third at Haydock off this mark, suggesting he can go close once more with another positive ride. Alnayef drops a class and if he can repeat the level of last month's August C&D second, he would be a danger to all. Bollin Neil is another to consider, even with a 4lb penalty for winning a weaker race at Catterick.
Prediction : 1st V Twelve 2nd Alnayef 3rd Bollin Neil

Better And Better shoulders top weight and can go well after a Haydock success was followed by a ninth at York, where he failed to see out 7f. Dropped in trip off 2lb lower, he can go well but VICTOR CEE may be the one. Making all to get off the mark with ease over C&D, a figure of 79 for his handicap debut looks reasonable enough, while Awaafi also makes the shortlist now returning to 6f.
Prediction : 1st Victor Cee 2nd Better And Better 3rd Awaafi

Three-year-olds have a good record in this race and WAIT FOR IT could add to that on her first start for Liam Bailey since arriving from Ireland. Weakening a furlong out over an extended 7f at Tipperary, she could do better over this trip off a workable mark of 65. Alpine Girl is a danger after winning at Redcar but she has 4lb more, while Iris Dancer won here for the ninth time last month but needs a career best off this rating.
Prediction : 1st Wait For It 2nd Alpine Girl 3rd Iris Dancer

TEMPER TRAP registered a double last autumn and a hat-trick back in 2023. That evidence strongly suggests Tim Easterby's veteran is perfectly capable of defying a penalty to follow up his recent success at Musselburgh. Hashtagnotions remains on a decent mark after landing a classified contest at Ayr, while Arkenstaar has won five of his 10 previous starts at this track and could bounce back at any time.
Prediction : 1st Temper Trap 2nd Hashtagnotions 3rd Arkenstaar

The Irish filly Galician Girl made a successful raid over 1m2f at Ayr last month and could shape well again, while Royal Blaze scored easily over the same C&D on his latest start. However, Lucinda Russell sent out JAMINOZ to claim the inaugural running of this contest last year and, having resumed winning ways over today's distance at Carlisle in July, the six-year-old looks to have every chance of repeating the dose.
Prediction : 1st Jaminoz 2nd Galician Girl 3rd Royal Blaze
