8:00 Hamilton Tips

A few narrow defeats from the 4yo this year, running to a good level and is nicely treated at the weights now. Not beaten far when 4th over this 5f trip four weeks ago - beaten by three runners rated 83-86. He has a 2lb lower mark now and the higher rated rival tonight is running off a 71 mark.

Consistent mare hasn't won since last October, but has been a runner-up on 4 of her last 5 starts. Was unlucky to be forced wide when narrowly beaten at Musselburgh last night.

Others arrive with better chances so this is a risky tip, Tiriac needs improvement but , this race is slightly easier than some of his last few so maybe he'll get closer to winning today.

2 of 5 wins have been over this course and distance. Blinkers added for first time and holds an each way chance if they have the desired effect

Ran well in defeat over a distance of 6f last time out, now drops down to 5f which shouldn't be a problem as he did run well on many occasions at this distance when he was trained over in Ireland.
