UK Horse Racing Tips: Hamilton

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR has relished a return to testing conditions and a hat-trick may be on the cards. The five-year-old scored with enough in hand on her latest appearance over C&D to suggest that she can overcome a 5lb penalty and she gets the vote over fellow penalised winner Bay Breeze. Tim Easterby's charge is expected to be in the thick of the action once more and isn't taken lightly. Lumenbourg completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Annie Edson Taylor 2nd Bay Breeze 3rd Lumenbourg

Ponte Carlo has the most race experience to his name and wasn't disgraced on his latest fourth in handicap company at Carlisle. However, the son of Soldier's Call remains vulnerable to an improver and he may have his work cut out against CYBERSPACE. Bryan Smart's gelding posted a good runner-up effort on his second outing at Redcar and a race of this nature looks within his compass. Kompozitor may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cyberspace 2nd Ponte Carlo 3rd Kompozitor

Although a little underwhelming when finishing fifth in a seller at Redcar, FERN CLYDE has received some respite from the assessor and is now 4lb lower than when fourth in a Musselburgh nursery previously. This race shouldn't take much winning and the Lope Y Fernandez filly may take some stopping if coping with underfoot conditions. Bonjour Belle arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Musselburgh and is feared most, ahead of Lady Titania.
Prediction : 1st Fern Clyde 2nd Bonjour Belle 3rd Lady Titania

A drop in class proved just the ticket for Geo when securing a third career victory at Ayr and she must enter calculations in her follow-up bid. However, the four-year-old may find life tougher reverting to this higher level and EL MATADOR is more appealing. Ralph Beckett's inmate has posted creditable efforts in defeat on all four outings this season and compensation could be on the cards. Rhoscolyn and Impartiality are feasible alternatives.
Prediction : 1st El Matador 2nd Geo 3rd Rhoscolyn

A couple of grand old servants go into battle once more and both Jordan Electrics and Copper Knight still have an appetite for the fight judging by their recent wins over C&D and at Chester respectively. Temple Of Athena was only a length behind Tim Easterby's veteran on the Roodee and is 3lb better off, but this can go the way of CITY CAPTAIN. The son of Aclaim was just denied when attempting to complete a 6f double here last week and is turned out again off the same mark.
Prediction : 1st City Captain 2nd Jordan Electrics 3rd Copper Knight

IMPRESSOR revels in testing conditions and kept Supremissy half a length at bay over track and trip last week. A 4lb penalty makes life that little bit harder, but the nine-year-old is worth sticking with while clearly in good heart and he can confirm his superiority. Thunderstorm Katie has held her form well and has struck up a good partnership with Lauren Young. She is expected to be in the thick of the action, while Solid Bond should appreciate getting back on turf.
Prediction : 1st Impressor 2nd Supremissy 3rd Thunderstorm Katie

Hickton won this 12 months ago, although he is 8lb higher now and was a four-length third behind Uncle Liam here at the beginning of the month. Since that victory, Jim Goldie's charge had to settle for third as a short-priced favourite over C&D, a place behind a rejuvenated Storm On Jura, but the eye can't help but be drawn to SUNNYSIDEOFDSTREET. Joseph O'Brien hasn't sent many runners to Hamilton, but he has tasted success here before and his filly starts handicap life off a basement rating.
Prediction : 1st Sunnysideofdstreet 2nd Storm On Jura 3rd Uncle Liam
