5:05 Hamilton Tips

Will improve for 2 runs this month following an 11 month absence. Went third inside the final furlong over 9 furlongs here 12 days ago and looks to be coming to form.

Union Island has now won 7 of his 33 starts following his win at Leicester earlier this month. Although a big price there, the fast pace was ideal for the horse, who prefers to arrive late. He is up 2 lbs here, but if the race is run to suit again, he could win again.

Distance winner Starliner needs to bounce back from a poor run last time out. He is a proven performer at this level, running off a winning mark on ground that suits. At the price, I am prepared to take a gamble.
