Race Preview
GLAM DE VEGA should be a big player in the Scottish Trophy Handicap as he arrives in winning form.
There was a score in a maiden at Ripon by him last time out.
He was pushed on well and showed a good response.
Glam De Vega has seen form from that race. On his handicap debut on Tuesday, he has big claims.
EMPIRESTATEOFMIND is another of the ones on the shortlist for Tuesday in this handicap fixture.
He does come in at top weight for this one, so he will need a career-best.
But Empirestateofmind landed a comfortable score on a 1m trip at Thirsk just last month.
CROWNTHORPE looks like being one of the key contenders as well for this one. There was a win taken by the 7-year-old at Carlisle in the handicap.
In his old form, he remains well treated. A similar kind of effort to his latest one should get him in the frame.
The final shortlisted selection for racing trips is WILKINS who has been in fine form all the way this season.
He got off the mark for his top yard last time out. That was in a Pontefract maiden three weeks ago.
This will be a handicap debut for Wilkins who has big claims.
Ones to watch: Empirestateofmind 8/1, Glam De Vega 6/4

MARK’S CHOICE makes an interesting contender in this one, and he claimed third place last time out.
That was on the weekend, in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon, which is his favourite track.
Mark’s Choice did a tremendous job from out of the weights to get that place finish.
He is now in calmer waters on Tuesday. That should help his claims as he is turned out quickly.
KAT’S BOB is one to consider in a wide-open contest and he is a former course and distance winner.
He wasn’t quite at his sharpest in a Carlisle handicap on his latest.
He ran out of steam on a 1f trip so is trimmed in distance for Tuesday. Kat’s Bob may find this more within his range.
JORDAN ELECTRICS has a great record here at Hamilton so is well worth considering in racing tips for the shortlist.
He has banked three previous course and distance wins. Jordan Electrics needs a little revival after a below-par run at Haydock 9 days from an unfavourable draw.
A return to Hamilton could perk him back up nicely and it has been a solid season in general for him.
Ones to watch: Mark’s Choice 11/4, Kat’s Bob 7/1

18:55 Chelmsford City Handicap Horse Racing Tip
Race Type: Class 4
Age: 3-year-olds only
Declared Runners: 6
Distance: 6f
Race Preview
OPEN MIND won on a previous Chelmsford City, which was at this distance as well, so there are claims there.
Since taking the win at this venue, he has stayed in excellent form. So another bold effort is expected of him.
Open Mind was fourth in a Thirsk handicap 17 days ago. He’s on a workable mark and should be heavily involved.
APHELIOS looks to still be on the up and James Doyle could give him an extra boost as the charge has his first run for a new yard on Tuesday.
Aphelios has produced some strong consistent form this season.
He’s lightly raced and poses a big threat for a new top yard.
BEAR PROFIT catches the eye the most out of the rest of the contenders in this handicap line up.
He is a former course winner. Bear Profit will need a bigger effort than he produced at Newmarket last time out, but place claims are there.
Ones to watch: Aphelois 6/4, Bear Profit 5/1

Distance: 1m 6f
Race Preview
SOOGHAN landed a victory in a minor event at Southwell three weeks ago. He made the most of how the race panned out for him.
There should be more important to come as he also moved to the Polytrack for the first time on his handicap debut. Sooghan looks to have a positive attitude.
DUTY BOUND claimed a win at Sandown in May on what was his penultimate run.
His follow-up wasn’t quite so hot at Haydock 45 days ago. But still, he may very well have something to offer on his handicap debut.
HAARAR is a former course winner and therefore is the final shortlist selection for this one.
It’s been two wins in four runs by Haarar this season. There’s a fair 5lb rise and he should make his presence felt at a winning track.
Ones to watch: Duty Bound 5/1, Sooghan 9/4

15:00 Kempton Handicap Horse Racing Tip
Race Type: Class 4
Age: 3-year-olds only
Declared Runners: 7
Distance: 1m
Race Preview
KING CABO is the first on the shortlist as he moves back up in trip for Tuesday’s run.
He rattled the crossbar at Lingfield on his latest run which was on a 7f trip.
There was also a course and distance winner posted by King Cabo in June and he should be a player.
ALOOQAAL scored on his first run for a new yard last time out. That was here at Kempton two weeks ago.
He showed a positive attitude to get the job done. Alooqaal may be well suited to the return to this trip.
There has been a 5lb rise for him but he looks to still be on the up nicely, so should make his presence felt.
MOON ISLAND fills out the shortlist for racing tips and she is a former course and distance winner.
The tongue strap is applied for the first time on Tuesday. There was an excellent juvenile season by her.
It hasn’t quite clicked into place for Moon Island this term, but with a good claimer on her back and a return to Kempton, there’s a chance.
Ones to watch: Alloqaal 6/4, Moon Island 5/1

15:30 Kempton Handicap Horse Racing Tip
Race Type: Class 4
Age: 3-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 8
Distance: 7f
Race Preview
OUT FROM UNDER should be well-supported for this run at Kempton on Tuesday as he’s a good consistent one.
He was a runner-up at Ascot last month, but the winner of that race went on to win again.
Out From Under scored at Newmarket in April on his reappearance and has been in the frame on each of his three runs since. He rates as a big danger.
MELODY OF LIFE is one to be interested in as well. There is a course and distance win on his record.
On his latest run, Melody of Life took a decent sixth-place finish at Doncaster 12 days ago.
He’s a good all-weather performer and gets in the picture for racing tips.
LAST HOORAH is another course and distance winner that warrants a look in racing tips on Tuesday.
There was a decent shift produced by him at Sandown on his latest run.
He hasn’t quite built on his winning debut but helped by a big claimer, each-way claims are not out of the picture.
Ones to watch: Melody of Life 3/1, Last Hoorah 15/2
