Hamilton 5:00 Result

Uncle Liam arrives in tremendous form, winning his latest start and showing a clear upward curve (881541), with a recent win suggesting he handles this trip and conditions well. He's the same OR as Taylormade Lad (57) but with obvious improvement and momentum, backed by a Jim Goldie yard in good form. The apprentice claim from Lauren Young helps with the weight, and a low draw (2) is workable over 1m4f at Hamilton. Taylormade Lad's form figures (335572) show consistency but no win recently and he's yet to nail a victory in this sequence, often flattered by minor placings. Farabove The Limit is interesting having won last time out and is up in class, but his solitary win came at a shorter trip and he now steps up over unproven ground/distance combination on heavy - a risk. Wootton's Gal has been running with credit but her formline (5-2495) suggests she's not quite converting placed efforts into wins, and the extra cut in the ground is unproven. The likes of Dandy's Angel, Storm On Jura, Duleek Street and Flying Moonlight are all lower-rated and look to be makeweights in this contest based on current form. Uncle Liam's recent scoring effort, in-form stable and suitable barrier make him the most solid combination of ability and value in a moderate Class 6 field.
