hamilton-park.co.uk Amateur Jockeys' Handicap

Course winner who returned to form from out of the blue when second in 4-runner handicap here (5f) in May. Not in same form either outing since, sixth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Does find himself operating from career-low mark though, so not ruled out.

2 wins from 6 runs this year. 10/3, won 6-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 26 days ago, a well-run race returned to sprinting suiting him well. Booking of Simon Walker rates an obvious plus and no surprise to see him in the shake-up again.

11/2, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 30 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not ruled out returned to this shorter trip. Engaged 8.40 Catterick Tuesday.

Still a maiden but more than capable of defying this sort of mark judged on pick of last season's efforts and shaped as if he'll sharpen up for the run when third of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f) 12 days ago. Blinkers back on and bold showing could be on the cards.

6/7f winner in Ireland for Michael J. Browne. Solid enough start for new yard when making the frame in pair of AW handicaps in March but not looked most willing since, racing lazily/off the pace when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 20 days ago. Visor may help in that regard.

Twenty seven runs since last win in 2023. Last of 9 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 44 days ago, ridden 2f out and soon beaten. Needs to leave that well behind if he's to figure.

15/2, first run since leaving J. F. Levins/after 6 months off when below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and one to note if the market spoke in his favour returned to this shorter trip.
