Hamilton Park Handicap (Class 6

THE ENJOY VIP TREATMENT AT HAMILTON PARK HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile and five furlongs handicap race for fouryear-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 55. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb.

BETTING FORECAST: 5-2 Haven Lady (IRE), 15-2 Will He Dance (IRE), 8-1 Ghostly (GB), 9-1 Aighear (GB), 10-1 Lizzie Loch (GB), Uccello (IRE), 11-1 Three Castles (GB), 14-1 Rita R (IRE), Toutatis (USA) RACE SUMMARY: A number of these arrive with question marks against them, so it is worth siding with Jim Goldie’s AIGHEAR to take a big step forward now she goes into handicaps over a trip much more in keeping with her pedigree. Recent Catterick second Haven Lady rates the obvious threat. with Ghostly appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes. 1-2-3: 1.AIGHEAR 2.HAVEN LADY (IRE) 3.GHOSTLY STEWARDS NOTE: WILL HE DANCE: Following its run on 21/5/2022 it was reported that the horse suffered interference in running.UCCELLO: Following its run on 28/5/2022 it was reported that the horse hung right throughout.
