Dave Nevison tips: my best three bets for Hamilton on Wednesday

Rebecca’s Girl has clearly adapted well to a move to these shores - running three solid races for Gary Rutherford. 

The four-year-old filly has struck up a good partnership with 5lb apprentice Amie Waugh, who won on her at Carlisle on her penultimate start and followed up with a very good second at Musselburgh last time. 

Also, the application of blinkers has had a positive effect, and they are retained. Rebecca’s Girl looks capable of adding to her tally off the same mark as last time. 

Conservationist has been highly tried throughout her career, contesting a Listed event and several top grade handicaps since she broke her maiden on her second start. 

This 0-75 fillies’ only handicap looks to be a massive step down in grade and judged on her latest effort, when fourth from 3lb out of the handicap, she is in good enough form to capitalise. 

She seemed to show ability in soft ground last time and the drop back in distance seemed to suit, so 6f at this track promises to be an ideal test. She looks to be a filly ready to hit form for her new yard. 

I will be keeping a very close eye on Something, who looks a possible big improver in this, but it’s another three-year-old, Elforleather, who looks the solid option here. 

Jack Channon’s horses have seemed to excel in soft ground all season and he has placed this modest improver consistently well. 

Elforleather has already proved that he stays this  well. He won over slightly shorter last time at Windsor but wasn’t stopping and didn’t look as though being another 2lb higher would stop him. He can complete a soft ground hat trick.
