13:30 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict a clear winner. However, 2/1 (1) BURJ MALINKA and 3/1 (4) GUSTAV GRAVES appear to be strong contenders based on their recent form. 2.5/1 (2) RORY could also potentially finish in the top three based on their consistent record. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be 1) 2/1 (1) BURJ MALINKA, 2) 3/1 (4) GUSTAV GRAVES, 3) 2.5/1 (2) RORY.

BURJ MALINKA won this last season off a mark 6lb lower and, although he has to give weight away all round, this does look a slightly weaker renewal. Refuge would be interesting if he can bounce back to his best and may be a serious rival as he starts to slip down the handicap. That said, Gustav Graves may be the bigger danger after being beaten less than a length at Yarmouth last month.

BURJ MALINKA could get his own way in front so this C&D scorer is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of fellow C&D winner Rory. In-form Gustav Graves appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

Rory is unlikely to go down without a fight but GUSTAV GRAVES has been knocking on the door in recent weeks and gets the nod.

14:05 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 13f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 5/1 (7) ZIMMERMAN 2nd: 6.5/1 (8) PONS AELIUS 3rd: 8/1 (9) HAIZOOM

Zimmerman ran well over shorter on his return and will be much better suited by this trip with that run under his belt, while Haizoom won over C&D in May last year off a mark of 76 and is only rated 1lb higher now. Both can go well, but WICKYWICKYWHEELS drops in class and may well find a good deal more now.

POSTILEO was on the up when last seen 18 months ago and it's significant that top connections have bided their time with him, so he's marginally preferred to Zimmerman, who can be relied upon to give his running. Pons Aelius is another one to consider.

The vote goes to ZIMMERMAN (nap) who made a promising return when second at Thirsk last month and should appreciate the longer trip.

14:35 Hamilton Stakes (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 3/1 (2) SILENT WORDS 2nd: 0.73/1 (1) TAJALLA 3rd: 18/1 (4) JILL'S JUNGLE

Jill's Jungle was second at Southwell on his debut and a place may be the best connections can realistically hope for. Silent Words won her only start by a narrow margin after idling in front at Newcastle and she may have a lot more to offer, a remark that also applies to TAJALLA. He ran on well to win at Newmarket in April last year and holds an entry in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.

An interesting race. TAJALLA hasn't been seen since his debut win a year ago but his entry in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup suggests connections are hopeful he can make up for lost time so he's preferred to fellow debut scorer Silent Words. Northcliff is much more exposed than the aforementioned pair but also has the form to be bang there.

An alternative to the ones with sexier profiles is NORTHCLIFF, who is proven on slow ground and ran quite well in a recent handicap.

15:10 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the top three finishers are likely to be 1.38/1 (4) CLANSMAN, 6.5/1 (1) DON'T LOOK BACK, and 2/1 (3) WHERE'S JEFF. 1.38/1 (4) CLANSMAN has won the last two races and will be suited by the forecast rain, while 6.5/1 (1) DON'T LOOK BACK has shown improvement and won a 12-runner handicap recently. 2/1 (3) WHERE'S JEFF battled on well during the recent seasonal debut and has the advantage of being a course winner returning from a short break.

Only narrowly denied over 1m2f at Beverley last month, WHERE'S JEFF is entitled to improve in first-time cheekpieces and he can have a big say in proceedings here. The gelded son of Haafhd could build on that outing, especially given that was his first run back off a break. Clansman scored on his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster last month and must be respected now rated 2lb higher, while Two Auld Pals also merits consideration on his return.

CLANSMAN begun the new campaign with a personal best at Doncaster and remains fairly treated. He is fancied to score again. Where's Jeff looks the likeliest danger.

There could still be more to come from DON'T LOOK BACK over middle distances, and he excelled on slow ground last month.

15:50 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

1st - 2.75/1 (8) OBAMA ARMY 2nd - 4/1 (6) ARKENSTAAR 3rd - 7/1 (3) MY HONEY B

Runner-up on his last two starts, OBAMA ARMY can secure his best run to date here and must enter calculations, although Arkenstaar made a promising return to action when third over a mile at Redcar last month and should not be dismissed. My Honey B and Leap Year Lad add further spice, while My Honey B is the pick of the remainder.

OBAMA ARMY has been going the right way sent handicapping this year, finishing runner-up on his last 2 starts, and he can continue his progress to get off the mark this time around. Leap Year Lad shaped as if still in good form on his latest outing and could be the main danger, ahead of My Honey B.

It's hard to get away from OBAMA ARMY who has performed with plenty of credit to finish runner-up in his last two starts.

16:23 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 2.25/1 (2) HIROMICHI 2nd: 5/1 (4) SHINE ON BRENDAN 3rd: 2/1 (1) WESTERNESSE

Even though he has to shoulder joint top-weight for this contest, WESTERNESSE could be worth siding with. He made a promising debut for David O'Meara when finishing second at Wetherby last week and he must hold every chance of building on that. That said, George Bass' claim negates most of Hiromichi's 5lb penalty for his latest success and he can give the selection plenty to think about, while Shine On Brendan is another to bear in mind.

WESTERNESSE made his effort slightly earlier than ideal starting out for new connections when runner-up at Wetherby last week and David O'Meara's 4-y-o can open his account having just a second outing in handicap company. The main danger could emerge from Hiromichi, who regained the winning thread at Bath on Monday and should be bang there again under a penalty. Bashful can fill out third spot.

In-form 5yo HIROMICHI looked very well suited by the stiff 1m at Bath on Monday and he might win for the third time this spring.

16:58 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 5/1 (2) SLAINTE MHATH 2nd: 3/1 (7) TWO SUMMERS 3rd: 3.5/1 (3) IRIS DANCER

SLAINTE MHATH is somewhat unlucky not to be coming here on a hat-trick, having found an in-form mare just too good at Thirsk last time out. A 1lb rise for that effort could prove lenient and she is narrowly preferred to the consistent Two Summers, whose last win came over this distance at Catterick last October. Billy Wedge and Iris Dancer are also capable of being in the shake-up.

TWO SUMMERS has returned in fine form and Adrian Keatley's likeable filly looks set to record a deserved first success of the year. C&D specialist Iris Dancer is a big threat after an encouraging return at Ripon, whilst recent Thirsk runner-up Slainte Mhath is another to merit serious consideration.

It may be worth chancing dual C&D winner KATS BOB who has dropped to the same mark as when winning this race last year.
