1	2 1st (2) (11/8 +39%) Kingsley Pride		1.375 11/8(+39%)																															(2) Kingsley Pride 11/8, Won 5-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm, 7/1) 7 days ago, well on top finish. Ungenuine type though so needs to back it up. Off the mark in Musselburgh handicap last Sunday; possibilities.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 -9%) Bay Dream Believer		3 3/1(-9%)																															(1) Bay Dream Believer 3/1, Dual 10f winner in August and posted an excellent third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 6/1) 22 days ago. Has been temperamental but merits serious consideration in her current mood. Respectable form in 1m2f handicaps last month; solid contender.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/3 -48%) Dr Foster		3.333333 10/3(-48%)																															(6) Dr Foster 10/3, Temperamental sort who beat only one in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, soft, 15/2) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces replace blinkers. Weighted to go close if back on his A-game. Record is just 1-17 but he has the best chance at the weights.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -57%) Fanaigi Linn		22 22/1(-57%)																															(5) Fanaigi Linn 22/1, 33/1 and tongue tied, first run since leaving Eoin Doyle when sixth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with work to do. Ex-Irish maiden whose form since July 2023 is unconvincing.
5th	4 5th (4) (20/1 -25%) Loom Large		20 20/1(-25%)																															(4) Loom Large 20/1, Modest gelding. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 3/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 5 days ago. Very hard to make a case for at these weights however. Has the worst chance at the weights on current figures.
6th	3 6th (3) (15/2 -25%) Midnight Lion		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(3) Midnight Lion 15/2, Fair gelding. Latest win at Newcastle in April. Off 4 months before coming in fourth of 5 to Kingsley Pride in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm) 7 days ago, doing too much too soon. Can't be ruled out with that run under his belt. Best to forgive latest effort; fighting chance on peak form.

15:12 Hamilton Seller (Class 4) 11f Race Class Flow

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

KINGSLEY PRIDE showed a likeable attitude when winning readily under this rider over an extended 1m4f at Musselburgh last week and, easing slightly in trip, he looks the one to side with. Bay Dream Believer was thwarted in her hat-trick bid when third over 1m2f at Beverley last month, but she shaped like she was still in form on that occasion and must enter calculations in a race of this nature. Though his recent form leaves something to be desired, Dr Foster is also respected with cheekpieces reapplied.

BAY DREAM BELIEVER comes here in top form and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of her excellent Beverley handicap third. Midnight Lion should strip fitter for his recent Musselburgh fourth so could emerge as the main danger to Mark Walford's mare, with Dr Foster and Kingsley Pride also in the picture if bringing their respective A-games.

Assuming he's back to form, this looks a good opportunity for DR FOSTER to double his tally. Kingsley Pride is second choice.

2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +50%) Catherine Chroi		5 5/1(+50%)																															(7) Catherine Chroi 5/1, Won 5 times between March and May, including C&D. Back to form when narrowly denied over C&D (soft) 18 days ago. Nineteenth of 24 in handicap (25/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 2 days ago. Close second here 18 days ago; best to forgive her Ayr defeat on Friday.

4	11 4th (11) (22/1 -100%) Happier		22 22/1(-100%)																															(11) Happier 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Seemed stretched by 7f when second of 6 in handicap at Catterick (soft) in May. Equipped with a first-time tongue tie on this return from a break. 0-11 in handicaps; fitting of tongue-tie needs to make a difference.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/2 +15%) Midnight Affair		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(2) Midnight Affair 11/2, Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 15 days ago. Each-way claims again. Record of 0-7 since handicapping but recent form is encouraging.
6th	10 6th (10) (7/1 +50%) Giselles Izzy		7 7/1(+50%)																															(10) Giselles Izzy 7/1, Three-time C&D winner. Three wins from 12 runs this year. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chester (7f, heavy, 12/1) 9 days ago. Performed well (neck second off 1lb higher) in this contest 12 months ago.
7th	9 7th (9) (5/1 +23%) Iris Dancer		5 5/1(+23%)																															(9) Iris Dancer 5/1, Six-time C&D winner, including this race for the last 2 years. Respectable fifth of 9 over C&D (soft, 17/2) 18 days ago. No surprise to see her make a bold bid for another win in this race with the promising Rhys Elliott taking 7 lb off her back. Successful six times over C&D, including in this race for the last two years.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/1 -144%) Powerdress		11 11/1(-144%)																															(5) Powerdress 11/1, 12/1, won 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 16 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Should remain very competitive up 3 lb. Got up close home at Kempton this month; unexposed over 6f; respected.
9th	6 9th (6) (7/2 +56%) Rock Melody		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(6) Rock Melody 7/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Sixteenth of 24 in handicap (18/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 2 days ago. Others more persuasive. Finished third off 2lb higher in this contest last year; fighting chance.
10th	1 10th (1) (12/1 +0%) May Blossom		12 12/1(+0%)																															(1) May Blossom 12/1, Latest win at Pontefract in August. Sixth of 7 in handicap (22/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) since, unsuited by way race developed. May do better back at 6f. Has never defied a mark this high; others look better handicapped.

15:42 Hamilton Handicap (Class 4) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

Powerdress bounced back to form when accounting for her nearest rival by half a length at Kempton last time and provided she can transfer that form to turf, she ought to go close. However, MIDNIGHT AFFAIR looks the way to go. Richard Fahey's three-year-old made the frame in a deeper event than this at Thirsk earlier in the month and she was kindly dropped 1lb for that display. If she can run to a similar level, she could prove very hard to beat. Last-time-out winner Nariko is another to note.

There could be more to come from lightly-raced 3-y-o NARIKO, who can make light of a 7 lb rise for her win a very competitive race at Haydock in the spring and deny Iris Dancer a third successive win in this race. Recent Kempton scorer Powerdress completes the shortlist.

Hamilton specialist IRIS DANCER is taken to complete a hat-trick of wins in this race. Powerdress is second choice.

1	2 1st (2) (9/2 -50%) Epidavros		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(2) Epidavros 9/2, 14/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft) 11 days ago by 1¼ lengths from She's Got Bottle, better placed than most. Can go well again up 4 lb. Off the mark at Carlisle (1m, soft) 11 days ago, reeling in She's Got Bottle in final 1f.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/2 +65%) Tilsitt		3.5 7/2(+65%)																															(8) Tilsitt 7/2, Twenty six runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good, 14/1) 2 days ago, finding little. Significantly down in trip. Last won in July 2022 but often thereabouts and can't be ruled out from place calculations.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 -29%) Shahnaz		9 9/1(-29%)																															(7) Shahnaz 9/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Carlisle in July. Fifth of 7 in handicap (11/4) at this course (8.3f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Others more persuasive. All five wins have been at either Hamilton or Carlisle, including two this summer.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 -40%) Wadacre Tivoli		14 14/1(-40%)																															(9) Wadacre Tivoli 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (6/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 54 days ago, having run of race. More needed. Needs to improve but she's 3yo, far less exposed than most of these, so it may be possible.
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 +11%) Shine On Brendan		4 4/1(+11%)																															(6) Shine On Brendan 4/1, 4-time course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm, 14/1) 29 days ago. Looks set to pop up again soon. No joy since August 2023 but he's regularly finished close up in recent outings.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 -14%) Leap Year Lad		16 16/1(-14%)																															(3) Leap Year Lad 16/1, Course winner. 10/1, last of 8 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Out of sorts. Has shown his form only once (third attempt) from six starts this season.
7th	1 7th (1) (15/2 -36%) She's Got Bottle		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(1) She's Got Bottle 15/2, Latest win at Beverley in May. Good 1¼ lengths second of 12 to Epidavros in handicap (25/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft) 11 days ago, having run of race. Wouldn't be certain to back that up. Can front-run; won twice in May and second to Epidavros at Carlisle 11 days ago.
8th	5 8th (5) (12/1 -50%) Izzari		12 12/1(-50%)																															(5) Izzari 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when sixth of 8 in novice at this course (11.1f, heavy, 33/1) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut and could do better. Sold out of Joseph O'Brien's after second start; needs improvement on this handicap debut.
9th	4 9th (4) (13/2 -18%) Naturalia		6.5 13/2(-18%)																															(4) Naturalia 13/2, Winner at Carlisle in May. 15/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good) 57 days ago, not knocked about. One to consider back down in trip. Won at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in May; runner-up on next two starts and hampered on latest.

16:12 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 9f  Race Class Flow

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

Epidavros beat She's Got Bottle (second) by just over a length at Carlisle earlier in the month and she can confirm that form to mount a bold bid off 4lb higher. However, the vote goes to four-time course winner SHINE ON BRENDAN, who finished a close-up fourth over 1m2f at Redcar last month and is off an unchanged rating. Jim Goldie's seven-year-old remains on an appealing mark and looks well placed to regain the winning thread.

EPIDAVROS was well placed when opening her account at Carlisle but she did it readily and looks capable of following up. 4-time course winner Shine On Brendan is feared most ahead of Naturalia.

Slight preference is for the 3yo EPIDAVROS ahead of Naturalia and She's Got Bottle.

1	10 1st (10) (9/2 +0%) Inanna		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(10) Inanna 9/2, Ended long losing run at Carlisle on her first start of the month and ran well when second of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm, 15/8) a week ago. Not taken lightly on only fifth start for current yard. Bang there on all four starts for current yard, including last week's 5f win and 7f second.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 -82%) Hierarchy		5 5/1(-82%)																															(1) Hierarchy 5/1, Having eased further in the weights, returned to form with the blinkers back on when third of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 9 days ago, despite having been left poorly placed. Major player dropped in grade. Latest start was easily best result this term; this is first run down in Class 5 handicap.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 -25%) Bay Breeze		10 10/1(-25%)																															(3) Bay Breeze 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023 but showed better signs when fourth of 21 at York in July. Lesser effort when last of 6 in handicap at Ripon (6f, firm, 11/2) 48 days ago, though he's not written off from his current mark. Pretty disappointing over the last year but took fourth of 21 at York on penultimate start.
4	8 4th (8) (10/3 +58%) Ramon Di Loria		3.333333 10/3(+58%)																															(8) Ramon Di Loria 10/3, Record a first win of the year at Ayr in August. Has continued in good heart since, third of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm, 13/2) 8 days ago. Could be in the mix once more. Won at Ayr in August; 0-11 at Hamilton but with two seconds, including penultimate outing.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +55%) Belsito		9 9/1(+55%)																															(6) Belsito 9/1, Gained a first handicap success at Carlisle in June. Well below that level both subsequent outings, though, tenth of 15 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good, 12/1) 43 days ago. Others more persuasive. Slow start when winning at Carlisle in June with first cheekpieces; two poor runs since.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/1 +0%) Rough Diamond		5 5/1(+0%)																															(2) Rough Diamond 5/1, Back to winning ways at Dundalk in July on final start for Edward Lynam. Returned to a similar level when second of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (6f) 12 days ago and he can give another good account. Close second at Newcastle (AW) 12 days ago but has more to do on this summer's turf form.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +20%) Kats Bob		16 16/1(+20%)																															(7) Kats Bob 16/1, C&D winner but has struggled for form since returning from a break, ninth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 50/1) 15 days ago. Has enough to prove at present. After a break, he has not shown much in this summer's three runs on turf; down the weights.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 +20%) Secret Road		20 20/1(+20%)																															(9) Secret Road 20/1, Winner at Southwell in March but largely below form since, again finishing well held when tenth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 12 days ago. Third at Haydock in July but there have been three deteriorating results since.
9th	4 9th (4) (15/2 -114%) Impressor		7.5 15/2(-114%)																															(4) Impressor 15/2, C&D winner. Without a success so far this season but good efforts on his last 2 starts, second of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good, 17/2) 40 days ago. Respected from 1 lb below his last winning mark. Win record dominated by soft or heavy, but two of his close calls lately were good to soft.

16:42 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

IMPRESSOR has been knocking on the door at class 4 level of late and he holds leading claims on this drop in grade. The seven-year-old is only 1lb higher than last month's close-up second over C&D and a first victory in 2024 looks imminent. Fellow in-form rival Rough Diamond, a three-time turf winner, will have no issue with a return to this surface. Tristan Davidson's gelding is feared most, ahead of Ramon Di Loria.

HIERARCHY shaped well in a change of headgear when third at Salisbury 9 days ago, coming from much further back than the front pair, so he could be ready to take advantage of his career-low mark. He can see off the challenge of Impressor, who has returrned to form when runner-up on his last 2 starts, while Inanna is also one to note.

Impressor would need good to soft or preferably softer. The vote goes to INANNA who has been climbing the ladder again recently.

Still unexposed at this trip and has to be respected from 5 lb higher mark. Off the mark with strong finish at Carlisle (1m3f) on latest start, encouraging for 1m4f.

Tongue strap on for 1st time. Others preferred. Way down weights after disappointing 2023 and 2024; second run for yard; first tongue-tie.

Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Will find this tougher. Ripon 2nd (1m2f); 1m4f is highly plausible, as is more improvement on this handicap debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (8/1 -23%) Roman Secret		8 8/1(-23%)																															(8) Roman Secret 8/1, Creditable third of 5 in handicap (11/8) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Place claims. This campaign has been a struggle and she needs better than her third of five on AW latest.
7th	4 7th (4) (10/1 -122%) Jaminoz		10 10/1(-122%)																															(4) Jaminoz 10/1, Added to good record here when won 7-runner handicap at this course (11.1f, soft, 10/3) 18 days ago, having run of race.

8th	10 8th (10) (20/1 -67%) Epona Pas		20 20/1(-67%)																															(10) Epona Pas 20/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 3¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Jaminoz in handicap (5/1) at this course (11.1f, soft) 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Others preferred. 16-race maiden; pretty consistent this summer but needs to find extra.

17:12 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Having relished the heavy ground when scoring over 1m3f here earlier in the month, another prominent showing is forecast from Jaminoz. However, the combination of a 3lb higher rating and a quicker surface may leave him vulnerable, with fellow last-time-out winner SUSIESPARKLE fancied to follow up. Iain Jardine's filly escapes a penalty for her recent victory in an apprentice event at Thirsk and she should take all the beating if coping with a quick turnaround. The progressive Ribble River could also feature.

SUSIESPARKLE made a successful stable debut at Thirsk earlier in the week and is able to race without a penalty, so looks the clear pick at the weights here. Ribble River was better than ever when scoring at Carlisle last month and remains unexposed at the trip, with Jaminoz also respected after his win here earlier in the month.

Off the same mark as when winning smoothly at Thirsk on Monday, SUSIESPARKLE (nap) should score again if she's in the same form.

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.
