16:40 Hamilton Stakes (Class 4) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.5/1 +57%) Almarada Prince	1.5 1.5/1(+57%)	(1) Almarada Prince 1.5/1, Left debut well behind when winning 14-runner Thirsk maiden (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Penalty demands more but he may do better again. Won at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago on his second start; more to come and a key player.
2	2 2nd (2) (1/1 +56%) Curious Rover	1 1/1(+56%)	(2) Curious Rover 1/1, Placed first 2 starts and found a bit more improvement when making all in 5f Catterick maiden 6 days ago. Might be capable of better again. Gets the vote. Made all dropped to 5f last week (good); more to come; leading contender.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 +14%) Circus Lion	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Circus Lion 12/1, £45,000 Aclaim gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to Prix Robert Papin winner Tis Marvellous. One to note in the betting on debut. £45,000 yearling; dam from a good sprinting family; useful standard to aim at on debut.
4	3 4th (3) (6.5/1 -95%) Princess Alex	6.5 6.5/1(-95%)	(3) Princess Alex 6.5/1, Dark Angel filly who was much improved when scoring with something to spare at Pontefract in July. Failed to reproduce that at Beverley 18 days later but her stable's good recent record in this contest means it would be no surprise to see her bounce back with a bang. One good run (5f, good to soft) and three lesser efforts; not easy to assess.
5th	7 5th (7) (200/1 -100%) Shatin Venture	200 200/1(-100%)	(7) Shatin Venture 200/1, Failed to beat a rival in 2 outings at Musselburgh last month. Poor form in two runs last month; no appeal.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 -32%) Elegant Call	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Elegant Call 33/1, Soldier's Call filly. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f winner (stays 1m) Thunderbear. Most from stable better for a run but still worth a precautionary betting check. Dam a 6f winner (RPR 87) from a useful family; yard's newcomers rarely fully wound up.
7th	6 7th (6) (250/1 -150%) Haildor	250 250/1(-150%)	(6) Haildor 250/1, 200/1, last of 14 to Almarada Prince in maiden at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago, slowly away. Can only watch after that. 200-1 when tailed off at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Hamilton Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Trainer Karl Burke has won two of the last three renewals of this race including with a 66/1 shot last season, and that suggests Beverley fifth Princess Alex may go well. Curious Rover made all to win at Catterick, but he will not get his own way at the head of affairs here if GLADLY EVER AFTER is allowed to bowl along. Third when swallowed up at Windsor last time out, the drop in trip could be key.

A tight novice featuring 4 previous winners. CURIOUS ROVER was well suited by the drop to 5f at Catterick last week and might be able to follow up turned out again quickly. Karl Burke has a good recent record in this race so Princess Alex could be the one to give Katie Scott's charge most to do ahead of Gladly Ever After.

Pick of the previous winners may be CURIOUS ROVER and he is marginally preferred to Almarada Prince.

17:15 Hamilton Stakes (Class 5) 12f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.14/1 +22%) Spectacular Style	0.14 0.14/1(+22%)	(3) Spectacular Style 0.14/1, Expensive well-bred Frankel colt who again left the impression there could be a better effort in him at Leicester (10f) 7 weeks ago, sticking at it having been found wanting for a change of gear when asked. Longer trip sure to suit and this looks his for the taking. Fair form in all three runs and he looks a class above his three rivals here.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 -13%) Weigh Anchor	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(4) Weigh Anchor 4.5/1, 5/1, second of 4 in maiden at this course (11.1f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Looks the one for the forecast again. Runner-up the last twice but Spectacular Style is better than her latest conqueror.
3	1 3rd (1) (80/1 -60%) Fly Awhile Johnny	80 80/1(-60%)	(1) Fly Awhile Johnny 80/1, Mid-field in bumper only start for Jack Teal and never a threat in minor event/maiden 7 days apart. Beaten in six points before sent under rules; well held in 1m2f/1m4f novices.
4	2 4th (2) (125/1 -25%) Be Rural	125 125/1(-25%)	(2) Be Rural 125/1, Decent pedigree but well beaten in a couple of novices this summer. Upped markedly in trip. Tailed off in novices at about 1m and low-grade handicaps probably beckon.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Hamilton Stakes (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

In a very small field, Roger Varian's SPECTACULAR STYLE may be able to dictate things from the off with little guaranteed pace anywhere else in the line-up. Weigh Anchor looks like she needs a fast early pace to aim at and she may not get that here to bring her stamina into play, while Fly Awhile Johnny may get the better of Be Rural in the race for third spot.

A weak novice and it will be disappointing if SPECTACULAR STYLE can't get the job done up in trip. Weigh Anchor is the obvious forecast option.

Roger Varian's Frankel colt SPECTACULAR STYLE has been performing to a level that sets him apart in this company.

17:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1.75/1 +30%) Bellarchi	1.75 1.75/1(+30%)	(2) Bellarchi 1.75/1, Has improved to win a Catterick novice and Carlisle nursery (both 5f, good) in recent weeks. 6 lb penalty is unlikely to prevent this thriving filly playing a leading role again. Tough filly who comes here after winning at Carlisle on Friday; penalty makes life harder.
2	1 2nd (1) (8.5/1 -31%) Swordplay	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(1) Swordplay 8.5/1, C&D novice winner in June but has finished down the field on both nursery starts in recent weeks. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Beat Chumbaa in C&D novice in June; not quite so good recently but not out of it.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 -50%) Indication Call	6 6/1(-50%)	(4) Indication Call 6/1, Put experience to good use when winning in a first-time visor at Ayr in May. Hasn't advanced her form in nurseries since but she was a little better than the result when fourth of 6 at Beverley last time, caught further back than ideal after a sluggish start. 5f Ayr maiden winner; some fair form since; 6f a slight concern; new headgear; a possible.
4	5 4th (5) (2.75/1 +21%) Dc Flyer	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(5) Dc Flyer 2.75/1, Improved when off the mark in a 4-runner C&D nursery in July, making all. Raised 6 lb for that but she's unexposed at this trip and may do better again. Won C&D novice last time (first run at 6f, good to soft); further progress likely; chance.
5th	3 5th (3) (3.5/1 -27%) Chumbaa	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(3) Chumbaa 3.5/1, Took an age to get off the mark but it's clicked lately, coming good in C&D maiden before following up on 5f Ripon nursery debut last Tuesday. The quick turnaround is unlikely to be an issue for one taking her racing really well. In good form having won over 6f here and over 5f at Ripon on last two starts; a contender.
6th	6 6th (6) (125/1 -89%) Nana's Ancestors	125 125/1(-89%)	(6) Nana's Ancestors 125/1, Poor form at best. 80/1, last of 12 on 7.5f Beverley nursery debut 19 days ago. 9 lb out of the handicap and easy to look elsewhere again. Has finished last on all 4 starts and is 9lb out of the handicap; hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

17:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

The hat-trick seeking pair of Bellarchi and Chumbaa both run carrying a 6lb penalty for their latest successes, but neither put daylight between themselves and their opponents and they may end up fighting it out for the places. DC FLYER gets the nod after he won over C&D in July when making most of the running and, although 6lb higher now, he has been given over a month off to recover so comes in fresh.

Nick Bradley owns half the field and this might develop into a straight fight between his durable pair CHUMBAA and Bellarchi, with narrow preference for the former as both go in search of quick-fire hat-tricks.

The in-form CHUMBAA, successful at Ripon a week ago, is taken to follow up by beating Swordplay and Dc Flyer.

18:15 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2.75/1 +31%) Iris Dancer	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(6) Iris Dancer 2.75/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 5/1) 22 days ago. In the mix once more. Three C&D wins and drops into a Class 5 for the first time since an easy win in June.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +33%) Sacred Falls	4 4/1(+33%)	(7) Sacred Falls 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden, best run when second of 10 in maiden (20/1) at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Much respected on her handicap debut. Improved second at Ayr last time; goes handicapping off a fair mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 -33%) Creative Style	8 8/1(-33%)	(4) Creative Style 8/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in June. 22/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Needs considering. 7f AW maiden winner in June; solid efforts in 6f h'caps the last twice; should be involved.
4	1 4th (1) (2.25/1 +10%) Emily Post	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(1) Emily Post 2.25/1, 28/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 27 days ago, overcoming positional bias. Unexposed as a sprinter so big shout despite taking a 5 lb rise. Career-best when staying on well to win a 6f handicap at Pontefract last month; respected.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 -33%) Sound Of Iona	16 16/1(-33%)	(3) Sound Of Iona 16/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (5f, good to soft, 25/1) 11 days ago so needs to bounce back. Dangerous mark but mixed messages this year; down in class; revival not impossible.
6th	5 6th (5) (4.5/1 +0%) Happier	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(5) Happier 4.5/1, Winner at Redcar in May. Good second of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm, 4/1) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can give another good account. Generally progressed well in her first season; good 2nd at Carlisle latest; new headgear.

LTO Selection:

18:15 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

The first-time blinkers can provide the missing ingredient for HAPPIER, who has finished an admirable second in three of her four starts since she broke her maiden at Redcar in May. Creative Style can get closer to the selection after finishing a length and a half behind her in fourth at Carlisle last month. Iris Dancer, already a three-time winner over C&D, is also taken seriously.

EMILY POST bounced back in some style when going in at Pontefract last time and looks weighted to follow up despite a 5 lb rise given she remains unexposed at this trip. Iris Dancer has an excellent record here so rates the chief threat to Michael Dods's filly with Happier and Sacred Falls in the picture too.

Happier is still improving but three-time C&D winner IRIS DANCER (nap) may be the answer now back down in class.

18:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 9f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +43%) Havana Party	2 2/1(+43%)	(1) Havana Party 2/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in June. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 10 days ago. One to consider down in class. Improved with blinkers (won over 1m2f, third over C&D); met trouble latest; could go well.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.75/1 +50%) We Still Believe	2.75 2.75/1(+50%)	(3) We Still Believe 2.75/1, C&D winner. 9/1, didn't need to improve to win 13-runner handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good) 8 days ago, suited by way race developed. Still fairly weighted on his best form under a penalty. Back to form to win over 1m2f at Ripon last week (good); penalised; should be thereabouts.
3	5 3rd (5) (7.5/1 -36%) Chinese Spirit	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(5) Chinese Spirit 7.5/1, C&D winner. 11/2, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Claims under penalty if in the same form. Off the mark for 2023 over 1m last week; return to 1m1f will suit; chance with his penalty.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 -25%) Heatherdown Hero	25 25/1(-25%)	(2) Heatherdown Hero 25/1, Hooded for 1st time, last of 5 in handicap (12/1) at Catterick (13.9f, good to firm) 95 days ago. Chance on old form but he clearly needs to bounce back dropped significantly in trip. Not in top form for new yard this year; only win was over 1m6f, not sure 1m1f is ideal.
5th	7 5th (7) (5/1 +29%) Mac Ailey	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Mac Ailey 5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Ayr in July. Creditable 2¼ lengths third of 13 to We Still Believe in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good, 5/1) 8 days ago, taking the eye with how he went through it before being picked off by a pair from much further back in a strongly. Blinkers back on. Firmly of interest. 1m2f Ayr winner on soft in July; fair runs on last three starts; each-way chance.
6th	9 6th (9) (12/1 -118%) Jaminoz	12 12/1(-118%)	(9) Jaminoz 12/1, Visored for 1st time, creditable second of 9 in minor event (9/4) at Ayr (10f, good) 24 days ago, no match for winner. Bit more needed. Won over 7f last term; runner-up on last three starts; a possible but not straightforward.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 +11%) Precedent	8 8/1(+11%)	(8) Precedent 8/1, Modest maiden. 7/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 5 days ago. Claims on his second here a couple of runs back. Good 2nd over 8.5f here in July; disappointing since, including at Carlisle last week.
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 -75%) Royal Countess	28 28/1(-75%)	(10) Royal Countess 28/1, 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 9 in minor event at Ayr (10f, good) 24 days ago. Others preferred. Not in best of form since Ayr win on reappearance; second-time headgear; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

18:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Chinese Spirit is high on the shortlist after coming good at Musselburgh last week, and is taken seriously turned out quickly under a 4lb penalty. However, this is a slightly deeper race and it could pay to side with MAC AILEY, who has shown signs of a revival on his last few starts and, having won off this mark before, he now has a live chance on these terms. Jaminoz and We Still Believe are other in-form contenders to consider.

MAC AILEY shaped well behind We Still Believe at Ripon last week and is fancied to come out on top this time. His old rival, Havana Party and Blazer Two are dangerous.

It could pay to side with the in-form WE STILL BELIEVE, who scored at Ripon last week.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 +14%) Absolute Dream	6 6/1(+14%)	(3) Absolute Dream 6/1, Course winner. 7/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Out of sorts but on a good mark. Disappointing since a fair third in June; 11lb lower mark than for last win; not out of it.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 -33%) Purple Gown	6 6/1(-33%)	(1) Purple Gown 6/1, Winner at Leopardstown in April. 66/1, off 3 months and first run since leaving J. S. Bolger when fifth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, finding herself a long way back but passing a good few and not knocked about. Interesting. Ex-Irish; heavy-ground winner in April (1m); not done as well since; plenty to prove.
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 +33%) Zumaaty	8 8/1(+33%)	(5) Zumaaty 8/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Last of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Musselburgh (9f, good) 25 days ago. Something to find on form. AW winner in February; mainly poor efforts since, last three on turf; hard to fancy.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 -27%) Retirement Beckons	7 7/1(-27%)	(6) Retirement Beckons 7/1, 4-time C&D winner. 5/1, won 8-runner handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 5 days ago. Carries penalty. Got to be feared. Triple C&D winner; has also won three times in 2023, the latest last week; chance.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 +58%) Nefyn Dawn	3.33 3.33/1(+58%)	(2) Nefyn Dawn 3.33/1, Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good, 18/1) 25 days ago, needing stiffer test. Improved since going handicapping; two fair runs (at 7f and 7.5f) last month; a possible.
6th	4 6th (4) (3.33/1 -21%) Banner Road	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(4) Banner Road 3.33/1, Winner at Ayr in July. Hooded for 1st time, good second of 6 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D (soft) 31 days ago. That was a stronger race (third won next time) and she's expected to be bang there again. Placed on her three starts since Ayr win off 8lb lower in July (1m, good to soft); chance.
7th	7 7th (7) (5/1 +44%) Motarajel	5 5/1(+44%)	(7) Motarajel 5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good, 12/1) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Not taken lightly. 11lb lower than last winning mark but not been in top form this season; change of headgear.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

RETIREMENT BECKONS refuses to live up to his name, winning last week for the 10th time with four of those here at Hamilton all over this distance. He got up late last time at Carlisle and a 4lb penalty may not be enough to stop him. C&D second Banner Road and the dropped-in-class Purple Gown are also of interest and may give the selection the most to think about.

PURPLE GOWN made an encouraging start for her new trainer at Ripon and looks interesting down in class. Banner Road remains in top form and seems sure to go well. Retirement Beckons has to be feared again.

In a trappy race NEFYN DAWN, who is less exposed than most, is taken to break his duck with Banner Road another likely to run well.

1	4 1st (4) (1/1 +67%) Giselles Izzy	1 1/1(+67%)	(4) Giselles Izzy 1/1, C&D winner in June. 4/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (6f, good) 4 days ago. Respected. C&D winner in June; still feasibly treated and this is weaker than when sixth last week.
2	7 2nd (7) (5.5/1 +8%) The Gay Blade	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(7) The Gay Blade 5.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh (7f) in August. 6/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good) 25 days ago. Ran well over C&D before winning over 7f last month; not so good latest; not ruled out.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.5/1 +22%) Elladora	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(3) Elladora 3.5/1, C&D winner in May. Lost chance at the start at Ayr last time and handicapped to go close back from 5 weeks off. Two C&D wins to her name, more recently in May; had an excuse last time; each-way claims.
4	6 4th (6) (20/1 -150%) See My Baby Jive	20 20/1(-150%)	(6) See My Baby Jive 20/1, Racked up a 6f Ayr hat-trick in July but latest Redcar run suggests she may have gone off the boil. Reeled off an Ayr hat-trick in July; less good twice since and others look more appealing.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 +0%) Earn Your Stripes	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Earn Your Stripes 16/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Below form 6 lengths eighth of 13 to See My Baby Jive in handicap (9/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 43 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Course winner; fair efforts when behind See My Baby Jive twice in July; below par latest.
6th	11 6th (11) (28/1 -12%) Genevieve	28 28/1(-12%)	(11) Genevieve 28/1, Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 7 days ago. Return to 6f a possible help but she needs to pull out more. Unplaced in all ten starts but has hinted at ability and the return to 6f can help.
7th	10 7th (10) (33/1 -230%) Burtonlodge Beauty	33 33/1(-230%)	(10) Burtonlodge Beauty 33/1, Course winner. One win from 32 Flat runs. 28/1, best effort this season when second of 7 in handicap at this course (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. No good thing to back it up. Infrequent winner but ran well for 2nd over 5f here 11 days ago; in the mix with a repeat.
8th	1 8th (1) (8/1 -78%) Dandy Spirit	8 8/1(-78%)	(1) Dandy Spirit 8/1, Dual winner this spring. Can have a line put through latest run at Beverley as he stumbled at the start. Back on a good mark and the blinkers he's worn on all wins in Britain return. Two sprint wins in spring; had an excuse last time; capable if on a good day.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Global Humor has to enter calculations with his two course wins coming off higher marks, but he was beaten 25 lengths at Catterick last month. Burtonlodge Beauty was a solid second here over five furlongs and should be better suited by this trip, but a chance is taken on DANDY SPIRIT. Better treated in this company after coming home last at Beverley, his last win was off this mark in May and we know he is capable in this grade.

It might be worth taking a chance on DANDY SPIRIT who won a couple of Class 6 events in the spring and is back on a good mark if refitted blinkers help him to stage a revival. Elladora is second choice returned to a venue where she has a good record. Giselles Izzy can also feature.

Global Humor is greatly respected but GISELLES IZZY is fancied to gain her second C&D win of the year.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
