14:00 Hamilton Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Fengari made her first start a winning one as she scored by a head at Leicester, but that was on much softer ground which could open the door for SWORDPLAY. The son of Kodiac hit the line well last time over 5f at this track and he would have learned a lot from that first outing. With normal improvement, he could prove very tough to beat. Lincoln Royal is an interesting newcomer.

SWORDPLAY made an encouraging start here last week and could be hard to beat with the prospect of more to come over 6f. Fengari struck first time up at Leicester and can also improve over this longer trip.

This looks set to go the way of SWORDPLAY, who showed form bordering on useful when second here last week. He should appreciate 6f.

McCauley's Tavern sets the standard for others to aim at having run with great credit last time at Doncaster, where he was denied by just over two lengths and is likely to be thereabouts once more. However, preference is for CROW'S NEST, who showed some ability on debut at Windsor, as he started slowly before staying on nicely for third, and he could take a step forward to strike. Talha is another to consider.

Backed at long odds, CROW'S NEST showed promise amidst greenness when third on debut at Windsor 10 days ago and with progress highly likely, he earns the vote to build on that and come out on top. Talha and Mccauley's Tavern should also be thereabouts.

This can go to CROW'S NEST, who ran well behind two previous winners on debut and he should appreciate the nature of the finish here.

Havana Party kept on to score by a length and a half at Ayr on Monday in first-time blinkers and has to be considered under a 5lb penalty, but he could come out second best to ZARABANDA. The four-year-old filly ran with credit here on her return to action last and was subsequently dropped 2lb in the weights for her latest effort at Ayr. Ravenglass is also one to watch.

SHAHNAZ turned in her best effort of the campaign in a solid-looking handicap at Pontefract 13 days ago and with the cheekpieces refitted/operating below her last winning mark, she could be ready to strike. Last year's winner Havana Party scored at Ayr on Monday and is feared, with Ravenglass and Zarabanda completing the shortlist.

An open handicap can go to SHAHNAZ, who has slipped to a good mark and showed clear signs of a return to form last time.

This represents a considerable drop in grade for Acklam Express, who sports a first-time tongue-tie following a disappointing run in the Temple Stakes at Haydock last month. However, he does have to shoulder top-weight here, so WALKING ON CLOUDS is marginally preferred. A game winner over this trip at Ayr most recently, Grant Tuer's four-year-old cannot be dismissed now rated 1lb higher for that win. Khanjar and Edward Cornelius add further spice to the mix.

KHANJAR ended last term on a low-key note, yet he'd previously looked a sprinter to keep firmly on side and, on the back of an encouraging return at York 3 weeks ago, he could be worth siding with to get back on the up. Edward Cornelius and Walking on Clouds are others to consider.

A few to consider but the suggestsion is SOLDIER'S MINUTE, who has slipped to a good mark and shaped as though coming to hand last time.

With just the four runners heading to post, it is hard to look past THERMOSCOPE, who bolted up over 2m at Musselburgh last month. That was his first run off a break and Keith Dalgleish's five-year-old must enter calculations off 11lb higher. Graces Quest has to defy a 5lb penalty following a three-quarters of a length success at Carlisle last Thursday, but she is still feared, while La Pulga completes the shortlist.

The hat-trick beckons for THERMOSCOPE, who improved when scoring on the all-weather on his sole start for Brian Ellison in October and made a winning start for this yard, too, when routing the opposition over 2m at Musselburgh last month. He looks capable of coping with both this drop back in trip and 11 lb higher mark. Arrange should be all the better for her reappearance spin and is feared most ahead of La Pulga.

Thermoscope was impressive last time but he's 11lb higher and down in trip so the suggestion is LA PULGA, who ran well last time

ELLADORA bounced back to form with a comfortable success from the front over C&D last time out and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop her going in again. Similar comments apply to Thaki, who also scored over C&D last week, while Novak is a big danger if handling the drop in trip after his win over further at Ayr.

THAKI deservedly regained the winning thread over this C&D last week and, now eased slightly in grade under a penalty, the 6-y-o is taken to strike again. He certainly won't have things all his own way, though, with fellow last-time-out winners Novak and Elladora (feared in that order of preference) also strongly respected.

Katie Scott holds the key to this and front-runner ELLADORA (nap) is taken to follow up her recent C&D win at the expense of Thaki.

Now that the penny has dropped for PRINCE ACHILLE after a determined win at Carlisle, there should be more to come from Jedd O'Keeffe's charge stepping back up in trip. Termonator (fourth) has over four lengths to make up with him from that contest, but remains fairly handicapped, whereas Samurai Sneddz has a losing streak dating back to May 2022 to overcome.

The vote goes to PRINCE ACHILLE, who built on the promise of his reappearance effort when finally getting off the mark at Carlisle recently, displaying a willing attitude in the process. He remains on a workable mark up 2 lb. Buford did well under the circumstances when fourth at Wolverhampton in first-time cheekpeices on Monday and will be a threat if turned out again quickly here. Bouncing Bobby and Termonator both make each-way appeal.

A few with prospects but this can go to LOCHNAVER, who has a good record here and she's better than she's shown so far this season.

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.
