Jardine hopes Get Boosting can defy top weight at Hamilton

Iain Jardine is expecting a big run from Get Boosting at Hamilton Park’s Saints & Sinners charity racenight.

The in-form Dumfriesshire trainer also saddles The Gloaming in the Patersons Of Greenoakhill Handicap over five furlongs.

Jardine said: “The Gloaming won a couple of runs ago at Musselburghbutgetboosting ran really well in the Epsom Dash on Derby Day.

"Conditions underfoot should suit and he should run well even with top weight of 10st 6lb on his back.” Opposition to the Jardine pair is headed by likely market principals James Watt and Ventura Flame who are recent winners at Ripon and course and distance respectively.

The field also features the 47th appearance at Hamilton Park by eight-time course winner Economic Crisis.

Wise Judgment is a shortpriced favourite for the Captain J C Stewart Fillies’ Handicap after her recent comeback romp at Beverley.

After that handicap debut success Mark Johnston’s Middleham raider could have most to fear from firsttime blinkered Finally Mine, trained just 20 minutes away at Carluke by Keith Dalgleish.

Meanwhile, Eagleway ran a cracker on his British bow at Ascot and can take another step towards bigger targets in the William Hill Seaton Delaval Handicap at Newcastle.

The mile handicap is the feature event on the opening day of the Northumberland Plate meeting, and Ivan Furtado's challenger makes plenty of appeal despite having had the best part of two months on the sidelines since his Ascot run.

Sent off an 80-1 chance on that occasion, Eagleway spectacularly defied those odds to be beaten just half a length in the uber-competitive Victoria Cup, as River Nymph swooped late. That was a commendable effort on the domestic scene, although he was actually claimed by Furtado last summer and had won one of three starts in France for new connections.

Eagleway has shown his best form with give in the ground, but a Deauville all-weather win in 2019 shows he is equally as capable on an artificial surface.

Sharp Riposte can make it third time lucky in the Smooth Radio North East Novice Stakes. Marco Botti's charge has finished third on each of his two starts to date, but in his most recent outing was staying on all the time at Haydock upped to six furlongs, so that could be the right kind of trip for him.
