UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

THORNABY PEARL was beaten a neck when just finishing ahead of Doon The Glen over C&D last month and the eight-year-old, who scored at Pontefract a couple of starts prior, is expected to uphold the form and go one better. Thunderstorm Katie, a stable companion of Doon The Glen, has been knocking hard on the door recently and is expected to play a leading role once again. Ski Angel and Azuinthejungle are others capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Thornaby Pearl 2nd Doon The Glen 3rd Thunderstorm Katie

Casino Star didn't build on his debut effort here when a beaten favourite at York, but it is too soon to be writing off Karl Burke's colt and the drop to 5f may well be a notable source of improvement. That said, HELL OF A SPIN could have his measure. The son of Naval Crown shaped with a fair amount of promise when runner-up on his first start at Newcastle and that form arguably sets the standard. Calef appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Hell Of A Spin 2nd Casino Star 3rd Calef

INGLEBY ARCHIE seems to have improved with each run this season and returned to winning ways at Nottingham. The five-year-old is more than capable of handling a 2lb rise in what looks to be a competitive event on paper. Come On Over scored at Doncaster last week and is likely to be in the mix, despite going up 4lb. Others for the shortlist include Ashen and Iris Dancer.
Prediction : 1st Ingleby Archie 2nd Come On Over 3rd Ashen

Dunkeld Dreamer won by the smallest of margins over 1m4f at York and has to be of interest on her first attempt at this distance. Sure And Stedfast remains on a workable mark and is considered, but SPIRIT OF JURA gets the vote. Charlie Johnston's filly finished six lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork at Ripon last month and she will prove a tough nut to crack.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Of Jura 2nd Dunkeld Dreamer 3rd Sure And Stedfast

Quiet Resolve won over C&D on his first outing for Alan Brown in May and has to be taken seriously back at this venue, but it may pay to side with KALEIDO. David O'Meara's gelding produced a much improved display when filling the runner-up spot at Pontefract last time and he could be the one to beat. Handicap debutant Lucky Camino is another to keep a close eye on.
Prediction : 1st Kaleido 2nd Quiet Resolve 3rd Lucky Camino

Daring Leader comfortably had Hostelry back in fifth when he won at Pontefract and is taken seriously because this doesn't appear much tougher. However, he has never won back-to-back races before and has a 6lb rise to overcome. With that in mind, the less-exposed AMBER HAMUR could be the answer following a respectable second on her debut for the Ed Bethell yard at Beverley. Ten Sixty Six, who was fourth in that race, could get closer to the selection with a sharper start.
Prediction : 1st Amber Hamur 2nd Daring Leader 3rd Hostelry

The well-handicapped JUJUBELLA has C&D experience and her proven stamina could give her an edge over likely main danger Port Darwin. The latter won over 1m1f here on his penultimate start, but failed to back it up when beating only one home at Musselburgh. Off 3lb higher, he looks vulnerable again. Ibn Altheeb is unexposed over the trip and is suggested as the pick of the rest, with improvement plausible.
Prediction : 1st Jujubella 2nd Port Darwin 3rd Ibn Altheeb
