1	2 1st (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Zarabanda		2.75 2.75/1(+21%)																															(2) Zarabanda 2.75/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Ripon in August. Good second of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Leicester (10f, soft) 20 days ago, clear of rest. Up 3 lb but should give another good account. Firmly on the up, excellent Leicester second in her hat-trick bid latest run; big player.
2	5 2nd (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Fiver Friday		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(5) Fiver Friday 4.5/1, Winner at Musselburgh in August. 15/2, very good second of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Hood on 1st time and this Irish raider has to enter calculations. Won at Musselburgh before clear Ayr second 11 days ago; up 2lb but she can go well again.

On hat-trick after wins at Hamilton/York; firmly in the picture despite career-high mark.

Raised 11 lb for that but she's in good hands to continue to progress. Easily made winning h'cap debut at Sandown latest; up 11lb; merits serious consideration.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 +15%) Sophiesticate		28 28/1(+15%)																															(6) Sophiesticate 28/1, 10/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. No easy task from 3 lb out of the weights. Won at Musselburgh in June but beat only one at Ayr latest; 3lb out of the handicap too.

15:40 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

CLASSIC TIMES made light work of her opening mark at Sandown in a first-time hood and she should have more to come on only her fifth career start. The three-year-old filly has been hit with an 11lb hike, but she could be up to the task. Zarabanda is in great heart at the moment, as she hasn't finished outside of the first two home on each of her last three outings. Anjo Bonita is seeking her hat-trick and she should mount a bold bid after victory at York.

CLASSIC TIMES made a mockery of her opening mark when making a winning handicap debut in good style at Sandown recently. She's been hit with an 11 lb hike in the weights, but this well-bred filly remains unexposed and may well be equal to the task. The consistent Anjo Bonita took another step forward when bagging a York handicap last month and looks sure to be in the mix, while both Zarabanda and Fiver Friday arrive here in good form, too.

David O'Meara's filly ZARABANDA is on a roll and taken to quickly resume winning ways here on the back of her excellent Leicester second

Course winner. 11/4 and hooded for 1st time, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Ascot (10f, good to firm) 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. More to come still. Novice form is strong; far from disgraced at Ascot on handicap debut; remains of interest.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 +5%) Mr Professor		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(1) Mr Professor 10/3, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (9/1) at Goodwood (9f, soft) 5 days ago, suited by way race developed. Carries penalty. Merits consideration. Comfortable success at Goodwood last Wednesday; good chance under 5lb penalty.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +44%) Baryshnikov		5 5/1(+44%)																															(4) Baryshnikov 5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Very good second of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good to soft, 20/1) 4 days ago, slowly away. Looks competitive on form. Slight drop back in distance is a negative, having done his winning at 1m2f.
4	9 4th (9) (66/1 -560%) Jackhammer		66 66/1(-560%)																															(9) Jackhammer 66/1, 1 win from 1 run this year. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap chase (7/1) at Cartmel (17.3f, soft) 35 days ago. Fair on the Flat, won on last Flat run. Sole Flat outing of 2023 resulted in C&D win but this is a better race.
5th	2 5th (2) (17/2 +29%) Pisanello		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(2) Pisanello 17/2, Course winner. Latest win here in July. Bit below form seventh of 15 in handicap (22/1) at Doncaster (8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Has a record of 2-3 a Hamilton, the two wins over 1m; now goes back up in trip.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 +0%) Harswell Duke		22 22/1(+0%)																															(6) Harswell Duke 22/1, Latest win at Doncaster in April. Last of 7 in handicap at Haydock (8f, soft, 5/1) 3 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Something to find on form. Out of sorts since winning the Spring Mile; headgear enlisted.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -88%) Cockalorum		16 16/1(-88%)																															(3) Cockalorum 16/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win here in August. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft, 12/1) 11 days ago. Must improve. Gamely beat Mr Professor over C&D on penultimate start; has a fighting chance.
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 -33%) Two Auld Pals		16 16/1(-33%)																															(8) Two Auld Pals 16/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, soft, 16/5) 17 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Both course wins came over 1m5f; something to prove back down sharply in trip.

16:10 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 9f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

MR PROFESSOR bounced back to form with an impressive victory at Goodwood last week and the four-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. The unexposed Botanical is an obvious threat following his promising handicap debut at Ascot a few weeks ago, while Baryshnikov edges out Cockalorum to be the pick of the remainder.

BOTANICAL would have benefited from a stronger gallop when third on his handicap bow at Ascot last month and can improve past his older rivals, including Mr Professor and Baryshnikov.

Judged on his novice form, BOTANICAL (nap) still looks nicely treated and is well worth another chance. Mr Professor is feared most

Has fallen to a workable mark. Interesting off a handy mark back at Hamilton; has form figures of 211 here.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/1 +45%) Banner Road		11 11/1(+45%)																															(5) Banner Road 11/1, Winner at Ayr in July. 14 lengths seventh of 8 to Mac Ailey in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 11/2) 7 days ago. Others more persuasive. Good second over C&D in August; lesser efforts here since.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +27%) Shine On Brendan		4 4/1(+27%)																															(1) Shine On Brendan 4/1, 3-time C&D winner. Disappointed last twice but goes well here and must enter calculations. Form dipped sharply the last twice but this return to Hamilton is a plus.
4	7 4th (7) (3/1 -9%) Mac Ailey		3 3/1(-9%)																															(7) Mac Ailey 3/1, Posted season's best when taking 8-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft, 9/4) 7 days ago. Can race off same mark and holds obvious claims. Escapes a penalty for last week's Class 6 C&D win; strong chance off the same mark.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 -75%) Retirement Beckons		28 28/1(-75%)																															(6) Retirement Beckons 28/1, 4-time C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 10 days ago, not ideally placed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Held in this grade last time and he's still seeking first win above Class 6.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/4 +54%) Yeeeaah		2.75 11/4(+54%)																															(4) Yeeeaah 11/4, Belatedly off the mark in 12-runner handicap at Carlisle (7.8f) last month and backed that up with creditable second in seller at this course (9.2f, good to soft) since. Respected. Ran well behind higher-rated rival in seller here eight days ago; in the mix.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 -122%) Dream Final		10 10/1(-122%)																															(2) Dream Final 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 1/2 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable third of 6 in maiden at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Makes turf/handicap debut. More required. Turned over at short odds last time but may progress now handicapping.

16:40 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MAC AILEY was an easy three-length winner of an apprentice race over C&D a week ago and the seven-year-old clearly sets the standard without a penalty here. Dream Final has shown promise on his last couple of starts and it would be no surprise to see him go well on his handicap bow. Others to note are Retirement Beckons and Banner Road.

It's hard to look past MAC AILEY who carries no penalty for last week's comfortable C&D success. Yeeeaah and Shine On Brendan rate the principal dangers.

Preference is for ARKENSTAAR, who has a progressive record at Hamilton and returns here off an attractive mark.

Respectable sixth of 20 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft, 16/1) 11 days ago. Enters calculations. Back to form when sixth of 20 at Ayr 11 days ago; needs considering off 2lb lower mark.

17:10 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

EMERALDS PRIDE completed the hat-trick when just prevailing by a nose at Redcar, and she was only raised 3lb for that success. The daughter of Pride Of Dubai seems to be just doing enough in her races, which is making it difficult for the handicapper to catch up. Speedacus was victorious in this grade at Leicester recently and he ought to go close once again, while High Opinion also looks a solid contender.

The thriving EMERALDS PRIDE completed the hat-trick by the narrowest of margins at Redcar 2 weeks ago, but she came clear with the runner-up that day so can defy a 3 lb rise. Last week's Leicester winner Speedacus is feared most under a penalty ahead of One Last Hug.

Michael Dods's filly EMERALDS PRIDE hasn't looked back since refitted with cheekpieces and can defy a 3lb rise for her gutsy Redcar win

Merits consideration back up in trip under a penalty. Strode clear over 1m1f here last week; not an obvious one to follow up under a penalty.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 +0%) Ebony Maw		10 10/1(+0%)																															(4) Ebony Maw 10/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Very good 2¼ lengths third of 7 to Ask Peter in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 12/1) 8 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Minor place money is probably the best he can hope for. On losing run but shaped nicely behind Ask Peter over C&D last week; 2lb lower; contender.
3	8 3rd (8) (17/2 -42%) Rory The Cat		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(8) Rory The Cat 17/2, Latest win at Beverley in July. 11/2, creditable 5½ lengths second of 7 to Lunacy in handicap at this course (11.1f, good to soft) 8 days ago, no match for winner. Each-way shout. Two 1m2f wins at Beverley this summer; no match for Lunacy last week; new, longer trip.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 +56%) Lednikov		8 8/1(+56%)																															(5) Lednikov 8/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap (10/1) at Thirsk (14f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Visor back on. Others make more appeal. Ended 2022 with two AW wins; struggled on turf this year; down in weights but risky.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 +36%) Golden Valour		16 16/1(+36%)																															(6) Golden Valour 16/1, Temperamental sort. Two wins from 43 Flat runs, the latest gained back in 2020. 16/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to soft) 10 days ago, never nearer. May again find one or two too good. Consistent this season but his losing run stretches back to March 2020.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 -33%) Graces Quest		16 16/1(-33%)																															(1) Graces Quest 16/1, 6/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Back up in trip and has fallen to a workable mark and not without hope. Chance on this year's best but she's been in and out since her Carlisle win in June.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/2 -29%) Ask Peter		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(2) Ask Peter 9/2, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (11/2) at this C&D (good to soft) 8 days ago, having run of race. Carries penalty. Now 2-2 here but 5 lb rise could leave her vulnerable. Won 2 of her last 3, both over C&D; more needed to defy a penalty in this field though.
8th	3 8th (3) (9/4 -20%) Lunacy		2.25 9/4(-20%)																															(3) Lunacy 9/4, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (11.1f, good to soft, 3/1) 8 days ago by 5½ lengths from Rory The Cat, forging clear. Obvious claims under a penalty. 2 course wins in 2023, powering clear of Rory The Cat last week; big chance under penalty.
9th	9 9th (9) (22/1 -22%) Lochnaver		22 22/1(-22%)																															(9) Lochnaver 22/1, C&D winner. Last of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Ayr (13.1f, good to soft) 10 days ago, lost all chance at start. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. All three wins have come here; quiet since June's success & faster ground preferable.

17:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Jaminoz struck with ease over 1m1f around here last week and he warrants plenty of respect, with only 5lb extra to carry. However, this represents a big step up in distance, so the vote instead goes to ASK PETER, who had Ebony Maw behind when victorious by a length over C&D last time. She can go in again. Another last-time-out winner Lunacy completes the shortlist.

If in the same mood as when scoring here eight days ago, LUNACY will take plenty of stopping under a penalty. Jaminoz was also a decisive course winner on his latest start and he is a greatly respected under a penalty, too. Graces Quest is dangerous to discount off this reduced mark, while Rory The Cat was no match for Luncay here last time but he's pretty consistent on the whole and should give another good account.

Some in-form sorts on show and LUNACY, who won easily here eight days ago, can prove too strong for Ebony Maw.

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.
