Andrew Mount heads north of the border on Monday 28th September, as he looks to kick off the week on a winning note. Our resident tipster has a brace of tips across the action at Hamilton Park, where he has two attractively priced selections.
3.49 Salisbury – Regional Rock
Six of the last seven winners of this 6f Class 4 handicap were three-year-olds who had prepped in another 6f handicap. Blindly backing all 23 qualifiers returned a profit of £37.00 to a £1 level stake at SP (+£52.33 at Betfair SP after 2% commission, expected wins = 2.44, A/E = 2.46). Today’s qualifiers are Regional Rock, Golden Brown and Kohana Nation. Ralph Beckett’s two qualifiers on this angle produced a 9-1 winner and a half-length 18-1 second and his top weight Regional Rock, a son of Territories who will appreciate the cut in the ground, looks the pick of the trip. He finished a respectable fourth of seven over course and distance last time out and drips down from Class 3 level.
4.50 Nottingham – Spirit Of Applause
Spirit Of Applause has had 40 runs in Class 4 or better company and has lost all 40 of them (expected wins = 4.62), However, it’s a different story in Class 5 races in which his record reads 151132113343322 (5-15) with the sole out-of-the-frame effort a three-length fifth of 12 in a Redcar novice in 2022 where he raced alone down the stands’ side rail when all the action was far side. Tim Easterby’s six-year-old drops back to Class 5 level after his fifth of 12 in a Redcar Class 4 handicap last time and can bounce back.
